Jimmy, the Boy Wonder (1966)

An H.G.-Lewis-directed kiddie flick. Who woulda thunk it? Has its moments (the songs are wonderfully weird, especially "Beans" -- don't ask) but hampered by a terrible performance by the title character and is padded like nobody's business. (The film comes to a complete stop when it segues into a poorly-dubbed animated interlude and stays there for fifteen minutes.) I get the feeling that Lewis's heart wasn't really in this one.

Grade: C
