Ernest B. Schoedsack directed this film and also King Kong, and Mighty Joe Young. A group of young scientists trek into the wilderness for a chance to work with a brilliant scientist. Unfortunately they become the subjects of his experient which involves radium, the machine in the picture and some very dated, dramatic music. I expecially got a kick out of the really big wrench in the screen cap. He uses this machine to shrink his subjects to a foot tall. They don't like it one bit and fight back. Luckily the effects are temporary, but while small they are chased by animals and the mad doc himself.
I enjoyed this movie as I like mad scientist movies. I will give it 2.5 acorns, and no clive.
1940 was the year of Rebecca, The Philidelphia Story and the Grapes of Wrath.
