As a child this film really frightened me and I never saw the comic elements. The “goons” terrified me and memories of them stayed with me over the years. Great colourisation for the scenery and carnival sequences but in black and white the film is rather more frightening and the Goons more stark in appearance. The Ruritanian feel is enhanced by a score by the great George Melachrino, occasionally reminiscent of Ivor Novello. What a strange mix it all is but quite entertaining in its way too!
@dokskwyr43537 ай бұрын
Yes. I can see how the goons would scare a kid. I thought they were creepy, too, and I'm in my 60's. Almost as creepy as that huge mask Hugo made.

Yes, I think it was that mask that did it but they all look more frightful in black and white! Lol.

Very interesting movie in terms of local color - should be rural Austria, some village in the Alps. Would be nice to know !! The colorization of this B/W movie sadly cannot be enjoyed since the 720p stream is very blocky and full of artifacts. The first half an hour is indeed quirky enough to catch our attention, but later it gets very formulaic. Interesting enough, Gamma rays are indeed used today in curing brain tumors, with a device called "Gamma knife".
