Movies

Signale - Ein Weltraumabaenteuer (1970) East German formulaic Space Expedition film. Great models and sets, beautifully filmed, but incredibly slow-paced and lacking in dynamic qualities. Sadly boring. 3/10



Johnny Stool Pigeon (1949) Howard Duff, Shelley Winters and Dan Duryea in a William Castle drug-smuggling drama. A competent script and good actors transcend Castle's slightly crude directorial technique. Shelley Winters is still pretty cute here, Duryea deserves a little more recognition as a reliable supporting actor, but Duff is stonefaced and not very appealing as a protagonist. A pretty good crime action drama. 6/10

Dear Sir,
I’m looking for a movie/episode and you might be able to help me.
I was very little but I remember there was a crash (plane or spaceship) and there were survivors a good-looking man(the protagonist), a woman, another women who just gave birth to a baby boy and I think there was a old man too. They were rescued by a group of women who belonged to a Dystopian Society where the males used a mask to appear younger, because the gene Y was in extinction.
They are very surprised to see a male baby and take the mother and baby to the nursery, and show the rest of their place/city to the rescued.

I don’t know if it was a movie, a episode or a short movie… but I’d really like to find this one!

Best regards.
