37. SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL (1970)
A truly terrible TV pilot, but oh my goodness, what an epic episode of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. That’s my entire review, because it doesn’t rate one on its own dreary “merits.”
Verdict: Has any human ever possessed a more punchable face than Pernell Roberts?

38. INTERNES CAN’T TAKE MONEY (1937)
The remarkably delectable Joel McCrea in scrubs, flirting with patient Barbara Stanwyck, knocking back a few brewskis with gangsters, breaking hospital rules, doing experimental surgeries in strange locations, like pool tables and office desks. Oh won’t you kiss it and make it better, Dr. Kildare?
Verdict: The two splendid leads make the silly melodrama extremely enjoyable. Did I mention Joel McCrea in scrubs?

39. THE VIKINGS (1958)
The Norwegian scenery is real, and scarred, one-eyed Kirk Douglas chews every last bit of it. Meanwhile, a game Tony Curtis sports a swell pompadour and fur manties, while Janet Leigh’s bra almost puts out the eyes of her co-stars. This is one of *those* historical epics, and because of everything mentioned above, and committed performances from the cast, it’s insanely fun. I loved it.
Verdict: It’s a good time. Recommended!
