Hollywood Avalon, Episode 11 – Unidentified Flying Oddball

The Hollywood Avalon logo, a drawing a green hill with stone steps leading up to a castle tower, with Hollywood Avalon written on the hill and Mary vs the Movies written against a colorful sky.

From the nadir of Disney filmmaking comes yet another spin on Mark Twain’s Connecticut Yankee, this time featuring Dennis Dugan as a NASA engineer accidentally sent back in time with his android twin Hermes. It’s not the worst movie we’ve covered for the show–the supporting cast of English comedians as Arthur’s court are fine–but it’s not exactly Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Starring Dennis Dugan, Sheila White, Kenneth Moore, Ron Moody, and Jim Dale. Written by Don Tait and directed by Russ Mayberry.
