One of the great creepy/funny underground filmmakers I used to love in the mid-60s when I first came to New York. Late night screenings at the Bleecker Street or far lesser venues. I could not remember the name of this feature (half an hour long or so I guess) because I had "Creation of the Humanoids" (just rented from Netflix) stuck in my head. But a little search brought it up. For years I have been repeating the narrator's opening line, spoken with that wonderful solemn newsreel shout: "The Time is a Million Years in the Future!" Perhaps the single best underground-SF voiceover line EVER. I see where a documentary about the Kuchar brothers is out, or coming out. Great.
