4.0 out of 5 stars I Can Die a Happy Man, April 15, 2007

By	Robert Norman "Robert" (Trumbull, CT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Trog (DVD)

.....TROG is finally coming out on DVD! This is a sad yet funny movie, as it's really generally quite awful, but also Joan Crawford's final film roll. All the classics she starred in and it ends with her feeding a man in a bad prehistoric-ape costume 'fish and lizards'. Pour a glass of wine, pop this baby in, sit back and watch one of my favorite great-bad movies ever. Just like scientist Cliff, you'll keep repeating, "Like I have never seen......"

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bad Film, Have a Pepsi, Trog hates Rock and Roll, May 19, 1999

By A Customer

Great/Bad grade Z junk. For fans of "Psychotronic" type films which feature bad science, horrible make-up, stupid dialogue, and unbelievable plots. Star, Joan Crawford, in her best bad role as a totally unbelievable female scientist who studies a fake looking ape man ("Trog")found in a local cave. Look for the Pepsi product placements (Joan was married to the chairman of Pepsi at the time). Trog hates rock music! When Joan's foolish assistant plays him some (on a cheap transistor radio) he goes nuts, beaks out of his fake looking cage, and hangs a local resident on a meat hook in anger! Poor Trog is just misunderstood. Its not easy being the missing link in the 1970's. The scenes where Joan interacts and tries to communicate with Trog are especially noteworthy for their utter stupidity. The slightly stuck up and "proper" British setting only magnifies the ridiculous aspects of the film. When you are tired of watching all those Discovery Channel documentaries on Java man, etc., give this film a viewing. You won't get them mixed up.

4.0 out of 5 stars TROG!! , July 5, 2007

By	J. Abercrombi (Honolulu) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Trog (DVD)

Most have called "Trog" Joan's final movie. That technically is incorrect. I am assuming that perhaps this keeps getting reported as such because either it was a feature film and thus more people have seen it, or perhaps because it's like that snowball effect. You know, if one source reports this as fact everyone else takes that for gospel. Joan's actual final movie was in 1972. The title of that movie is "Beyond The Water's Edge."

It was a rather low-budget movie, made overseas. But, Ms. Crawford being the consummate professional that she (always) was took this movie very seriously. To Joan, "Trog" was still a Hollywood masterpiece; and she gave just as much effort in "Trog" as she did in her Academy-Award winning defining film, "Mildred Pierce."

Joan plays Dr. Brockton, an anthropologist who is studying "Trog." As you already know, this is Joan's last picture. She is still stunning, looking and sounding amazing. The first time I watched this picture I was expecting it to be very poor (because of what I heard about it) but I was very surprised that it was not what I expected.

If you're interested in Joan's later movies, might I recommend: What Ever Happened To Baby Jane, I Saw What You Did, and The Best of Everything.

Joanie, your fans still love you after all these years!
