I thought this film was just smashing! The cast's performances really bring down the house! A real balls-to-the-wall film! OK, enough of the demolition puns. I enjoyed this film, dumb as it is (do they really expect us to believe a wrecking ball would roll like that?). The special effects aren't too bad for a 1940s b-movie. This is the kind of movie which used to appear a lot on TV schedules (I believe it was shown more than 10 times on NYC television during the 1950s). Three and a half stars/five.
