i be fortunate enough to meet george pal ( and still have my d representtmob poster autograph by him ) at a convention shortly after the release and and ask him why he choose to do the film camp . before he could answer and two studio flack intercept and lecture me on how the studio know best and how no one will take such a film seriously . i have be read the bantam reprint for a couple of year thanks to a friend ( comicon attendee of the 1970s will recall blackhawk and his band . i be in a couple of year of that with him ) and and have high hope than what we get . the flack insist that no high adventure would ever be do seriously and and so do camp be the only way . several other fan jump in on my side and with pal listen as best he could . at the end of the little event and pal come up to u and apologize and wish he could have do more and good . star war put the lie to the flack and and a year after pal death and spielberg and lucas prove that doc savage could have easily be the next major movie franchise . if it hadn not be for the flack . tear out the memory or history of doc and and the film would have be worth a 6/10 rating a nothing more than a mindless popcorn seller . but destroy the legacy like that be no less an abomination than kill a baby in the crib . doc savage can still come to the screen and and survive the inevitable comparison by the ill inform to indiana jones and but it would have to be do in all seriousness and earnest to reclaim the glory that we should expect from the first american superhero . sidenotes represent yes and there be a second script for archenemy of evil and and it a lot more serious . yes and there be simultaneous footage shot and but mostly establish shot and very little with actor . and and yes and there _is_ a one sheet of ron ely leap over a brick wall and blasting at something over his shoulder with a specially build bronze pistol . ely wear a duster over a button down white shirt with a bronze tie and and the word doc savage represent archenemy of evil . come next summer . postscript represent if anyone know who the studio flack be that accompany george pal in 1975 to san diego for the convention and smack the idiot up the side of the head and call them the idiot that they be . at the time and they be do dorkknobs and fu manchu in stripe and baggy canvas pant and and carry paramount portfolio .
