由导演Ernest B. Schoedsack执导，1940年上映的《独眼巨人博士》，是由阿尔伯特·德科,Thomas Coley,Janice Logan等主演的科幻片片。 　　"Dr. Cyclops" is known as one of the better "early sci-fi" films, made in 39 and released in 1940. (It is also in color.) But while the story has potential and there are some good moments, this is a very confused film. 　　The plot is simple - crazy mad scientist on some remote island can shrink animals, and wants to try it on humans. He manages this on a scientific team that came to check things out. They get angry, and the crazy scientist eventually gets really angry because his new shrunken subjects won t cooperate. 　　The thing is, the film doesn t seem to know if it wants to be a thriller, or a goofy movie. Dr. Cyclops (never called that but referenced to a Cyclops after one lens in his glasses breaks) looks cool in his "30 s style sci-fi helmet" as he performs experiments and can be chilling at times. But there is so much "Disney-style goofy music" going on that it is hard to take anything seriously. The music belongs in a family comedy for the most part, and is played when the shrunken people do things like try to survive, and creep around the floor. Add that a few of them have pretty gruesome deaths and that just adds to the confusing atmosphere. 　　The FX aren t so bad but nothing special. The giant sets built are pretty impressive though. There is a scene where little fires are tossed at a real crocodile s head which probably made animal activists angry. 　　It also takes a long time for anything to really happen. This movie could have been done in a nice tight half-hour. Good for a viewing, but you probably won t watch again. The performance of the guy who plays Dr. Cyclops is definitely the main attraction.
