So many movies ... so little time ...
On this day in 1961 (in the U.S.), the mighty Atlas enjoyed his coming-of-age theatrical presentation for the masses-at-large. Directed by Roger Corman from a story by Charles B. Griffith, the Superhero/Fantasy starred Michael Forest, Frank Wolff, Barboura Morris, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"Evil king Praximedes convinces superhero Atlas to fight for him, but Atlas eventually sees the king's true nature and turns against him."
Editor's Note:
Technically, Atlas' original premiere date is a bit lost to history. Presently, IMDB.com indicates solely that the film premiered in May of 1960; so -- as is my practice -- I use the first day of the cited month as a temporary placeholder, always hoping I'll eventually secure more definitive information.
-- EZ
