Sometimes it's hard to like a conman.
2 stars
It was interesting to see how a lot of interplanetary fiction tropes were present here in the 1950s.
In the end, I often find it hard to get behind these smiling roguish conman antiheroes. I still love Danny Ocean, but I'm not that thrilled with Flashman anymore, or even Malcolm Reynolds.
In any case, thanks to @charliejane@wandering.shop for the recommendation!
