I've seen 5 of this director's films.

This director also worked as an art director on several famous films, including It's A wonderful Life, Spellbound, Meet John Doe and The Thief of Bagdad.

Richard Carlson did a lot of b grade movies and tv.

I've seen 2 movies starring Veronica Hurst.

This was Katherine Emery's final film. I've seen 2 films she was in.

She was in Peeping Tom

Yes, that is one of the ones I have seen. The other was Will Any Gentlemen.

Interesting approach to have her talk directly to the camera. Sometimes that works, usually not. I'm undecided so far if it will work in this film.

Michael Pate did a lot of TV. I recognize the face.

You probably know this already, but this movie looks much better in 3D

I've seen him in a few movies as well.

I feel like they are building to something, but it is taking too long to get there.

Odd to have an "intermission" during a movie that is only 1 hour and 20 minutes.

I like that car.

The costumes and sets are pretty good.

Not at all, all 3D movies used to have an intermission back in the 50s. That's because even though many theaters used two projectors that could skip intermission by shifting from one reel to the other, 3D films required the use of both projectors – one for each stereoscopic image – and so needed an intermission to change the reels on both projectors.

Interesting. That makes more sense now.
