The Colossus Of New York - 1958- 5/10

Father is a brain surgeon, the eldest is an automation engineer, but he youngest is hailed as the brilliant genius, because he endeavors to solve world hunger!
Alas, after he returns from receiving his Nobel prize, he is killed in a traffic accident.
Or is he? Dad is a brain surgeon, after all, and the brother can create a huge robot.
Not as bad as some decry, yet this is ploddingly slow, crawling from one listless scene to another.
Energetic final three minutes not enough compensation.
Actually, what I did enjoy was the Van Cleave score. Largely Impressionistic piano.
