Before commenting on the film itself, I have to comment about user reviews which complain/comment about seeing the microphone at the top of the screen throughout.
That's because it was never meant to be seen. The movie was shot in a 1.85:1 matted ratio, shot full frame, and theatrically would have had the top and bottom of the film matted down to the intended ratio. Anyone seeing the microphone was watching the full frame version on DVD (or on tv for that matter). Those areas were never meant to be seen and would have been masked off theatrically.
Now, the movie itself is goofy, mindless fun. Sure, it's politically incorrect at times, but I found it to be enjoyable. A bit of a surprise seeing Sir Roger Moore in this too!

Contrary to what most others have stated, this poverty row-looking production was NOT actually produced or made by Universal (so folks can stop criticizing the poor production values on the greatest studio during the classic era of horror). This fairly dull movie (yes...I agree that much with the negative reviews here) was actually made by Scienart Pictures, and only distributed theatrically by Universal, who did NOT produce it. So people can get off Universal's back with their lambasting of the movie...instead blame Scienart Pictures.
