Go ahead, missing link, if that's what you are. You should be missing.
Joan Crawford made what could charitably be called an ungraceful exit from the silver screen with 1970's Trog, in which she plays a famous anthropologist who gets her own pet troglodyte and tries to protect it from the outside world and the machinations of unscrupulous property developer Michael Gough. There's nothing she can do, however, to shield it from the derisive laughter of the audience since Charles Parker's design for the creature -- which amounts to a moderately hairy headpiece -- is rather less than convincing. Director Freddie Francis takes it all as seriously as he can, but there's only so much he can do to compensate for the bargain-basement production values. Still, camp aficionados will want to check it out for the scene where scientists hook electrodes up to Trog's skull and project his memories of stop-motion dinosaurs onto a screen, which inexplicably moves Crawford to tears. That's a sight you're unlikely to see anywhere else.
