The Conqueror

  The "sailor" bit amuses me, because I tend to hear it said online to me - but never in person.  Odd, that.

  That's more material for Dr Menard to work on. 

At our film lab the other day, a guy told me "Sit down, girlfriend, I'll see where Jenny is."

Girlfriend?

Great job, Andrew, as always. I've always wanted to review this movie. Is it known whether or not Howard Hughes actually knew the affects of the radiation would be that bad? Perhaps back then there wasn't as much information about it.

On another note, responding to Reply #5: I first learned the meaning of the word "perfidy" by reviewing I Was a Teenage Frankenstein. "Perfidy, thy name is woman!"

Actually, the only motivation in the film I halfway understood was the female lead. The reason she had the change of heart after watching Ghengis Khan get beaten was because it was her first time seeing him as a vulnerable human being rather than a horrible, loud brute trying to rape and beat her every few seconds.

But as you say, yes. It's a wonderfully bad film in every way.

A tad peeved at women? Whoever wrote this obviously hates women. My word the things he said. And for the record, not all men think like you do. Very few in fact.

True enough.  Only the ones with a sense of humor think like that.

Was this the part that annoyed you?

That insane unpredictability is why men want to conquer the world. We are trying to get away from the craziness that women subject us to on a daily basis. The fellows whose homes we are pillaging know exactly why we are out burning and looting everything in sight. They want to fight us. They're like, "Woman driving you crazy? Yeah, mine too! I'll get my sword! Thank goodness you came along when you did!"

Girls, I am not joking. Us men think like this, and it's your fault.

My reviews tend towards free association essays that are influenced by the movies.  If you have not seen the movie, you really should.  Genghis Khan (John Wayne) spends the entire movie slapping the bejeezus out of Bortai (Susan Hayward), while saying the rudest, sexist things.  Suddenly, she falls in love with him.
