Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Francis X. Bushman was silent film royalty (Ben-Hur, 1925) reduced to playing 'Sessom' in silver spray paint. Hollywood is cruel.
The 'gravity control' scenes directly cribbed from Fritz Lang's Woman in the Moon (1929)—this film's entire aesthetic is recycled German Expressionism through a drive-in lens.
