Movie Title: Spaceways Spaceways is available for streaming or downloading. |
This is a quality Image DVD. The image is sharp and crisp. There are a few trailers and a chapter index.
This movie is not science fiction. This movie was marketed wrong and still is. The Amazon reviewer writes, “it’s a strange mix…” There really is no mix. There’s no space station and very little of the rocket. This is a murder-mystery plain and simple and I think a pretty good one. The acting is good and the story good.
This tidy little murder mystery with a sci-fi setting features tough,
gruff Howard Duff and beautiful, exotic Eva Bartok as star crossed
lovers working together on the first attempt to put a satellite into
orbit above the Earth. Duff and Bartok becomes the first man and
woman into space when they have to rocket off to the satellite to
prove his innocence in the murder of his wife and her lover, whose
bodies are thought to be hidden on the satellite.
The story is from a radio play by novelist Charles Eric Maine, who
had two of his other works turned into movies–The Isotope Man
became The Atomic Man and Escapement became The
Electronic Monster. He had a penchant for writing Alfred
Hitchcock-like murder mysteries with a science fiction flavor.
And like Hitchcock’s movies, Spaceways is rather slow paced and
tedious at times, before the payoff comes, such as it is.
Director Terence Fisher, in his pre-Frankenstein and Dracula
efforts for Hammer Films, does a good job with what little he has–
a low budget and stock footage of German V-2 rocket launches,
plastic spacesuits, and sparsely designed control room sets. It all
works pretty well, though, because of the fine cast.
This DVD features excellent image quality and sound, a chapter
index, and the theatrical trailer, and that’s it. Recommended
mostly for fans of Eva Bartok and early British sci-fi.
