Review of Man Beast

Man Beast (1956)
4/10
lackluster but watchable sci fi
3 August 2023
The Yeti movies give us a grand spectacle of snow and mountains, whether filmed in the Himalayas or anywhere else.

This is not different in that regard. The scenery is nice.

The story line is weak for 1956. It's more like a goofy and contrived modern day movie, but it is watchable.

A woman searches for her brother, who ventured into the Himalayas. Another team searched for that team before she arrived. It's a bit confusing why this happens.. The main characters are the heroine, the man she came with, the man she meets and obviously will wind up with if they survive, a professor looking for Yeti, and a guide who has the very appearance of a dastardly villain.

Two other guides also appear briefly, but they decide to get out while the getting is good.

The Yeti are a bit more villainous than they are in the Peter Cushing/Forest Tucker classic, and this story is not nearly as interesting or entertaining.
