Goat Island is a sleeper: a little-publicized, ill housed, low-budget stroke of near genius. There were only a couple of dozen people at Thursday night's opening, maybe because it had the misfortune to coincide with gala premieres at Adams House and the Loeb. But like the sage said: "What's box office...
Suddenly, everything began to go wrong. The Luftwaffe's Starfighters rained down from the skies, generals resigned, a U-boat sank, prices rose. Worst of all, estimates for the 1967 budget showed a $1.5 billion deficit, largely because of huge purchases of U.S. weaponry. By law, German budgets must balance. So in September, Erhard flew off to Washington in hopes that President Johnson would agree to a reduction of the arms purchases, which were intended to offset the cost of maintaining U.S. Forces in West Germany.

...this point, Uncle is just one more budget dreadful from the monster mill operated by Producer William Castle (Macabre, The Tingler). From here on, it turns into a wonderfully wacky game of you-stab-my-back-and-ril-stab-yours. Uncle strikes first. One dark night he hypnotizes the boy-Barnaby shakes the spell on the brink of a 100-ft. precipice. Barnaby strikes back with some toxic toadstools-Uncle precautiously checks the mushroom sauce. Uncle surrounds Barnaby and Chrissie with a wall of fire-rain puts the fire out. Barnaby plops a tarantula on Uncle's chest...
