| User ReviewCapitaine TSuperb scifi/romance. One of my favourite movies of all time. It may not be the most high standard of production or EFX by todays standards, but it has a rough and ready feel that just works. I was so pleased to find it on budget DVD not long ago. :) |
| User Reviewrachelle wdid this really happen. On the edge of your seat film. Michael Pare at his best |
| User ReviewStephen JMy nieghbour Syd Stanaway( former changi prsioner) were in his garden and I had Charles Berlitz book. I asked Syd if he knew about THE PHILDELPHIA EXPERIMENT. And his neighbour came to the fence and said that he was stationed in Phildelphia harbour in the Australian navy in 1943. And that he saw professor Einstein at the docks. The question is Has Einsetin ever been to Phildelphia. You can read on this site all the newspaper articles from all around the world from 1943 on about THE PHILDELPHIA EXPERIMENT.
