Copyright 1959 by 20th Century-Fox Film Corp. No New York opening. U.S. release: June 1960. U.K. release: 16 August 1959. Australian release: 4 February 1960. 8,070 feet. 89½ minutes. (Cut to 75 minutes in Australia).
SYNOPSIS: A talking baby gives his dad tips on the stock exchange.
COMMENT: Written and produced by Oscar Brodney, who gave you "When Hell Broke Loose", a film as uninspired and amateurishly written as this one. Admittedly, here the cast struggle valiantly against fearful odds, but, alas, they have absolutely no chance with the repeated onslaughts of Mr. Brodney's terrifyingly inept dialogue. Even the direction is far below Robert Day's usual standard. In fact, he doesn't even try. Presumably Day just directed the movie for the money - and who would blame him? And the photographer didn't try hard either: The film is very flatly photographed.
