ISLAND OF TERROR (1966/Protelco Prod./Planet) 89 Minutes 16mm Red Original cut to 64 minutes

British SF that suffered the fabled 'British TV Disease.' Two minutes of action, then 30 minutes of talking about the action. We saw that guy get killed, we don't need to hear three different characters recap. A quick run-through with a pair of scissors fixed that problem, and now the film fits on one reel, too! Directed by Terence Fisher; Produced by Richard Gordon; Special Effects by John St.-John Earl. Starring Peter Cushing, Edward Judd, Carole Gray.
