ROCKY JONES: BEYOND THE MOON(1956) MOVIE PAGE
In the set: 100 Greatest Sci-Fi Classics
The first movie made from the TV series!
I only have 5 of the twelve Rocky Jones'
movies! The thrust of this first movie
is that some friends of Rocky's are being
held hostages and Rocky and Winky are
tasked with rescuing them! And tagging
along for the fun is Vena Ray, a self
proclaimed expert navigationalist! Of
course, as with most of these movies,
there's a mole in the United World home
offices, and he's making life difficult
for our intrepid heroes!! Also going on
is a very vengefull leader named Queen
Cleolanta who has a magical hypnotism
device that she uses to take away people's
will! This is a lot of fun!! B
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Gallant space ranger Rocky Jones (likable
Richard Crane) and his goofball sidekick
Winky (the equally amiable Scott Beckett)
travel to another planet to investigate
exactly why Professor Newton (doddery
Maurice Cass) has pledged allegiance to
the evil Queen Cleolanta (a perfectly
wicked portrayal by the attractive Patsy
Parsons). Director Hollingsworth Morse
relates the entertaining story at a brisk
pace and maintains a pleasant tone
throughout. Moreover, the primitive (far
from) special effects, cheap sets,
amusing pre-feminism old school sexism,
dippy dialogue ("Galloping galaxies!),
and a few endearingly clumsy action
set pieces all give this picture a
certain quaint period charm. Fetching
blonde Sally Mansfield provides plenty
of spirit (and tasty eye candy) as the
spunky Vena Ray. A fun romp. - Woodyanders
