this be a shoddy effort which seem to have be cobble together to ride on the back of those magnificent men in their flying machine ( 1965 ) and the like . proceeding begin with a long prologue introduce the victorian age of invention and adventure and which lead u on to the p. t. barnum character whose late plan be to send a man to the moon . the story unfolds like a third rate childrens pantomime with lot of sight gag and silent comedy exaggeration . caricature abound with clear label a to who should be hiss and who should be cheer by any audience member still awake . even allow for any post production difficulty which the assortment of alternative name the film go under would suggest and the final effort be insult to the intelligence and all age group will be bore by the tedium it offer . even troy donahue doesn not add a spark to the dismal affair and his dashing hero character come off like a poor man doug mcclure without the charisma or act ability . an inferior mcclure clone would normally be a contradiction in term and which only go to show just how low the bottom of the barrel be which rocket to the moon scrape . best scene the closing credit have me cheer from the rooftop .
