Nightfall Movie Review

Television adaptation of a classic Isaac Asimov short story can make a legitimate claim for Worst Sf Movie of All Time. A planet that has two suns (and therefore no night) experiences an eclipse and its inhabitants go mad. So will viewers! The plot makes no sense. The actors ham it up shamelessly, but given their idiotic costumes and dialogue that no one could read without giggling, why shouldn't they ham it up? WOOF!
