THE ROCKET MEN

Set in the late 40's, this entertaining, full-cast science fiction melodrama give us Howard Hughes throwing his hat into the ring of the Cold War space race. The producer has carefully and effectively orchestrated production values to augment lackluster performances. The script boasts some high adventure and flashes of humor, as well as the usual sci-fi conceits. Y.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 99]
