Here's a few interesting comments from All Sci-Fi member Phantom.

Gog (1954)
I saw this one in February 1955 (I have a copy of the newspaper ad). It was on a double with a Judy Canova movie Untamed Heiress, of which I don't remember a frame (probably lucky, at that).
Except for the clunky multi-appendage robots and Michael Fox's chilly death (which raised my hair), I had forgotten the rest of the movie.
Snapped up the dvd as soon as it became available. It has its faults, but it isn't exceptionally bad like Killers From Space. It's okay for occasional viewing when nothing else is available.
Apart from the robots swinging their arms around like drunken boxers, the best scene in the film was the laser attack. As for those tuning forks (or whatever they were) I could never understand why someone in the room didn't throw something over them to deaden the sound.
Haven't seen Magnetic Monster lately. Liked it when I did.
I guess my favorite of those mentioned in this thread is Riders To The Stars, the 1950's version of The Right Stuff. For a kid in those days, wading through the "mush" was par for the course until we got to the good stuff in space. Never forgot Richard Carlson coming unglued when he saw that corpse float past his window. _________________ ____________
