Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

JohnHowardReid Boasting one of the largest casts ever assembled for a "B" movie, "Pacific Blackout" certainly holds the viewer's attention from first to last, despite its disappointingly slack direction from Ralph Murphy who manages to make a potentially exciting, edge-of-the-seat murder mystery just one of those things that audiences used to be trained to come late for. In addition to its incredibly diverse cast, and its inventively unusual story, the movie was most engagingly photographed by Theodor Sparkuhl. Of the players, Robert Preston turns in his usual engaging performance as the harassed hero, and he gets some great support from Martha O'Driscoll and Eva Gabor. Alas, like many of the great pictures in Paramount's library, this movie seems to have disappeared and is not currently available on DVD.
