"The only good human, is a dead human!"
Beneath the Planet of the Apes was trying for a Roman epic feeling (the steam bath scene comes to mind). Yeah, Roddy McDowall's absence hurts though I assume if he had been in it, it would still have been written as it was.
I think the Vietnam parallels was very heavy handed.
Finally watched THE MUMMY (1932) and CAT PEOPLE (1942). Both I had known of quite well since the mid 70s yet never saw in complete form.
I am convinced Karl Freund should have directed Dracula.
