Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMoe Howard: , of The Three Stooges fame, as a cab driver. Production assistant Norman Maurer was Moe's son-in-law, and director Edward Bernds was a longtime friend and had directed many Three Stooges shorts and several of their features. Moe found himself out of work after more than 25 years when Columbia Pictures closed its Shorts department with no notice early in 1958. Bernds offered Moe the cab driver part, and Moe in turn asked him to take on hire Maurer, who was trying to get a foothold in the film business. Bernds knew Maurer and considered him to be a talented artist, so he hired him as a sketch artists to help the special-effects department.

Featured review
Finally some verification that I am not nuts. I have been searching the internet (and IMDb) for years for "blood rust" with no results and now, finally a verification that this film actually did exist. I saw it in Princeton, NJ in 1958 with my friend Mike (who did not recall any movie with "blood rust" when I ran into him years ago). No one I ever asked had heard of it. I did remember the title had an "X-" something in it. Now finally, others who were infected with blood rust are all coming forward. I didn't remember Moe being in it either, but the scene in the airplane with b-r oozing down the windows was an image that has stayed with me for 50 years. Can I get a copy on DVD anytime soon? The internet is good for some things.
