Taking a nosedive

I enjoyed the previous installments of the series but this entry is ruined by the amateurish overacting of the supporting cast. A lot of "B" movies of this era depended on their success by the support of a capable supporting cast. The studios were full of recognizable B movie regulars...which is absent from this film.
