Directed by Irwin Allen
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4

(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)
Ronald Colman, the "Spirit of Man", is pitted against Vincent Price, "Mr. Scratch", in a trial in outer space that is to determine the fate of mankind. Colman and Price narrate stock footage from old Warner films in their attempt to sway the jury (gods?). New footage is edited in featuring a laundry list of all-stars, all equally inept. I'm not sure who was worst, Hedy Lamarr as Joan of Arc, Agnes Moorhead as Queen Elizabeth or Dennis Hopper as Napoleon. It's entertaining, "so bad it's good", camp of the highest order.
