Reception
From contemporary reviews, John Pym wrote in Monthly Film Bulletin that the film "is a cut-price digest of half-a-dozen money spinners, from the Bond movies to Star Wars."[1]
gollark: Because the second one is apparently pretty practical with a cheap SDR and some antennas, I believe some people on here do it.
gollark: Do you mean actually meddle with them or just receive them?
gollark: Weird.
gollark: Nowadays, if someone came up with the idea of sending privileged system messages down something the user could easily read/write to, they would probably not be taken seriously, but it seems like they just... didn't think of the security implications? Or thought doing it differently would be too costly maybe.
gollark: It seems really bizarre that people came up with this whole in-band signalling system and thought it was a good idea.
