Eegah

Eegah – 1962 – United States

Written/directed by Arch Hall Sr., starring himself and Arch Hall Jr., Eegah is amusing and aggravating. Little talent manifests in the lousy writing, shooting, and (especially) acting. Arch Hall Jr. offends worst with his hair in a dopey pompadour and dialogue of the “Gee whiz!” variety. Damn shame—his performance in The Sadist (1963) is chilling, if semi-retarded. Eegah’s biggest boon is Eegah himself, played by hulking seven foot Richard Kiel (Jaws from Moonraker) with nothing to do but grunt.
