The Frozen Dead (1966)

Starring Dana Andrews, Anna Palk, Philip Gilbert, Kathleen Breck, Karel Stepanek
Directed by Herbert J. Leder

A scientist is tasked with restoring Nazi soldiers frozen after Germany lost the war, but struggles to revive their memories, needing a living brain to study.

This isn't a bad premise for a horror film, and it starts out rather promisingly as we see Andrews' character's failures and limited successes, but the picture seems to lose its way after Andrews gets the human brain he needs to study, and morphs into a remake of the notorious The Brain That Wouldn't Die.  Despite this film having a bigger budget and better production values, the special effects used are primarily the same as that low budget stinker, and it's clear from the get-go, the story will end up advancing to a similar climax.  It's too bad the filmmakers didn't choose to go in a different direction with the resources at their disposal.

Spaceflight IC-1 (1965)

Starring Bill Williams, Kathleen Breck, John Cairney, Donald Churchill, Jeremy Longhurst
Directed by Bernard Knowles
(actor & director credits courtesy IMDB.com)

One year into a twenty-five year journey to a new planet, a spaceship's crew starts to rebel against their captain's strict demands.

Using the spaceship as a microcosm to illustrate humanity's fight for freedom against an oppressive government, this sci-fi drama casts the captain in the role of dictator, who refuses to turn back when a crew member becomes deathly ill, and denies any requests for a democratic vote.  It's an intriguing premise, and the filmmakers rightly center the film around the actors' performances, employing only pedestrian special effects to maintain the futuristic setting.  The cast are fine throughout,  and the screenplay smartly casts certain characters as ready to revolt, while others are supportive of the current regime, with the rest simply wanting to follow along and not make waves, as would be the case in any similar society.
