Jail Bait ★½ Hidden Face 1954

Early Wood film about a group of smalltime crooks who are always in trouble with the law; they blackmail a plastic surgeon into using his talents to help them ditch the cops. Not as “bad” as Wood's “Plan 9 From Outer Space,” but still bad enough for camp fans to love (check the cheesy score leftover from an equally cheesy Mexican madscientistflick). 80m/B VHS, DVD . Timothy Farrell, Clancy Malone, Lyle Talbot, Steve Reeves, Herbert Rawlinson, Dolores Fuller, Theodora Thurman, Conrad Brooks, Mona McKinnon; D: Edward D. Wood Jr.; W: Edward D. Wood Jr., Alex Gordon; C: William C. Thompson.
