NEW YORK STATE OF MIND

Out this week on DVD is...

Monster-of-the-Week: ...The Colossus of New York, a 1958 yarn in which the brain of genius Ross Martin is salvaged after his accidental death & placed in this hulking yet deco-elegant robot giant...



...which has been thoughtfully equipped with death rays that he can shoot from his eyes. I've always had some affection for this cornball black-&-white robodrama, with its piano score by Van Cleave. Check out the trailer here.
