The Bamboo Saucer (1968)

Lead by the U.S. military, a group of scientists secretly parachute into Red China to find the truth amid rumors of  a crashed Unidentified Flying Object. En route to the saucer's location, they encounter a group of Russians also searching for the spacecraft. Directed by Frank Telford, a TV director whose sole feature film this is. A red paranoia science fiction film that seems right out of the 1950s although it was released in 1968. To call it a B movie is an insult to B movies. It's hokey and patronizing and its bonkers plot aside, it's hideously amateurish. The mountainous Lone Pine, California substitutes (poorly) for Red China. There are some good actors like Dan Duryea (in his final film role) and Lois Nettleton in this and one can only wonder how they were roped into a mish mash like this! For connoisseurs of bad sci-fi movies only. With John Ericson, James Hong, Nan Leslie and Bernard Fox.
