3.0 out of 5 stars A dated comedy from the early days of the Space Age , May 14, 2005

By	Parisonn of Atlantis (Minneapolis, Minnesota) - See all my reviews

Hollywood never quite decided how to handle Tom Tryon with the result that his roles ranged all the way from "I Married a Monster from Outer Space" to "The Cardinal." "Moon Pilot" represents his only foray into farce and while he might seem miscast, his very "out-of-place" quality probably anchors this film more securely than had it starred other actors, (such as Dean Jones or Dick Van Dyke), who would have been thought more adept at this sort of thing. As for the movie itself, its scientific hardware and special effects may seem either delightfully nostalgic or painfully dated -- depending on one's point of view -- but all will probably agree the film's pacing now seems slow and even a bit tedious. Livening up the proceedings, however, is a scene in which Tom Tryon is shown stripped to his boxer shorts -- something you might not expect to find in a family comedy from Walt Disney. Hollywood may have been puzzled as to how to cast the sexually-ambiguous Tryon, but they certainly knew a prime hunk of muscular, hairy "beefcake" when they saw it and thus Tryon's shirt manages to come off in virtually all of his movies.
