Satellite in the Sky (Warner) is the sort of thing the British usually do very well done very badly. An attempt to duplicate the agonizing authenticity of such films as Breaking the Sound Barrier, it parades plot and props (including an enormous mocked-up spaceship) that could have been scissored by a small boy from the back of a cereal box. Its improbabilities do not begin or end with an unlikely character named Lefty who appears to pen notes with his right hand...

But adolescents who run to the theater expecting to see a hot-rod drama packed with jive-talking juveniles are due for a letdown. Burning Hills is simply one more version of the venerable western about the mean old rancher out gunning for the squatters who are fencing off the open range. The six-shooters bang, the corpses hit the dust...
