Zotz! - blu-ray - Import

Opgelet, import zonder NL ondertiteling.

Tom Poston (The Old Dark House) and Julia Meade (Pillow Talk) star in Zotz!, an outrageous Cold War comedy from director William Castle (13 Ghosts).

Eccentric professor Jonathan Jones (Poston) discovers a magical amulet which can be used to slow down time, inflict pain, or bring about instant death. When foreign agents seek to steal the amulet for their own gain, Jones, accompanied by his colleague Professor Fenster (Meade), must protect it.

With support from Jim Backus (Rebel Without a Cause) and Margaret Dumont (Duck Soup), and a screenplay by Ray Russell (Mr. Sardonicus), Zotz! is a delightful mixture of slapstick and satire.
