Never Takes Off.
19 October 2013
Paul Dickson directed this British early Sci-Fi film about an experimental rocket ship sent to deploy and detonate a tritonium bomb meant to dissuade future wars and aggression. Unfortunately, the bomb becomes attached to the rear-end of the ship, forcing the crew to take emergency actions to detach it and send it off on its way into space, before they are all blown up. Lois Maxwell plays a reporter who stows away(!) on the ship, and Kieron Moore plays the lead astronaut. Despite the presence of a bomb, the film isn't that bad, but is a pretty dated and dull affair, much too talky and static to succeed. Though it does have a good cast, obscure film is forgettable.
