Customer Rating: - What a strange one. Are there more movies please?
What a wack-attack movie. It was a lot of fun. Couple of dry spots where we had to remember what we were watching but overall a great movie. But then we love those old cult classics. If there are more movies with this nut Dr. Morgus we'd buy them too.

Customer Rating: - Momus Alexander Morgus vs. Microvania!
I am probably one of the few people who can say that they saw this film when it was originally released in the late 1950s IN A THEATER! I recommend this film highly because it is a splendid introduction to the way us folks in New Orleans tend not to take ourselves too seriously -- by pretending to take ourselves absolutely, totally seriously! Incidentally, in the new series from the 1980s, I went through the instant people machine myself! Chopsley mixed up the sand. Morgus used a centrifuge to separate the four of us involved. Now we are back to normal. Too bad for the secret agents from Microvania. Anyhow, this film is a true gem of not only New Orleans, but Americana as well! You'll love it!

Customer Rating: - The Wacky World of Doctor Morgus
It was good to see Dr. Morgus on this film. I had seen the movie when it first premiered in New Orleans when I was a kid. I am an ardent fan of the Great Momus Alexander Morgus ever since I was a youngster. The film brought back found memories of old New Orleans and how the town was in the early sixties. I believed that Morgus, Chopsley, and Eric have not gotten the recognition that they richly deserve. They are they best scary movie host I've ever seen. They are true masters at their parts. I remember when they did the weather reports in New Orleans on TV. Everyone in my family would rush to the TV and get a good laugh. I hope to see more of them in the future. I would recommend this movie to anyone especially the fans of Morgus.

Customer Rating: - For fans of Morgus only
Doctor Morgus (aka "Morgus the Magnificent" and "Momis Alexander Morgus") was (and may still be?) one of the original and probably one of the best of that vanishing breed of early television "horror movie hosts". The character is pretty familiar - the mad scientist - but he carries a great deal of manic energy to the part. He started in New Orleans, but did a year's worth of shows in Detroit (just after he did this film - coincidence? ;-) His sidekick "Chopsley" didn't make it to Detroit, but apparently was a major contributor to the goings on in the New Orleans show, and has a prominent part in this movie, too.

You aren't going to see anything particularly original - the "plot" involves Dr. Morgus inventing a machine that turns people into sand, and the attempts of "foreign agents" to steal the invention. Believe me, there's better stuff in your typical "Rocky and Bullwinkle" episode, but you probably already knew that. The attraction for me was seeing Morgus in action, exactly as I remembered him from the "Late Show" on CBS Friday nights in that Detroit year. New Orleans natives love this guy, too - you can always find Mardi Gras dubloons with his image on them on on line auctions.

So - a very special-interest type of film. If you remember Morgus, or are doing research into early 60's horror movie hosts (before Elvira), or would like to see New Orleans as it looked 40 years ago, then you might want to check this one out. But the rest of you are warned - what was hilarious to a 10-year-old back in '64 may not be *your* cup of tea.
