I went with Giant From The Unknown cuz it had the beautiful Sally Fraser in it as well as B-movie stalwart Morris Ankrum! Though I still like Missile to the Moon with its silly giant spider and She Demons.

Looks like 1958 was his year.

Those gumby looking rock creatures in MISSLE TO THE MOON where quite memorable, but I also picked GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN.

FRANKENSTIENS DAUGHTER is also very much worth a look. Enjoyed that one also.

Don't think I have seen SHE DEMONS yet.

I enjoyed all his movies...it's hard to choose,so I went with FRANKENSTINS DAUGHTER,on the basis of ...uh...I dunno.

But MISSLE to the MOON is pretty great to!I liked it even better than CATWOMEN of the MOON. Who says remakes are lame?

I voted for Missile to the Moon, but any of the movies from 1958 are fine with me, I've seen and enjoyed all of them, they are really what the wife calls class "z" crappy movies and I will happily watch them whenever I can.

MISSILE TO THE MOON was better than I expected to be and for me personally the most fun overall out of those listed above (although I like most of the others too).

Hi Scott.

I believe that Dog Eat Dog aka When Strangers Meet was made in South Africa and has quite a few people credited as director, Cunha among them.

The NFA in Pretoria actually has a 35mm print of this film, believe it or not.
