ASA MAYNOR IN THE LOW BUDGET CREATURE FEATURE 'MAN BEAST'

Asa Maynor in MAN BEAST Year: 1956 Rating: **1/2

Cherub-cheeked, full-lipped cutie Asa Maynor (billed as Virginia Maynor) had a career bookeneded by cinematic creatures: first here in MAN BEAST who, as he sister of a missing archeologist, is on a hunting trip through the Himalayan mountains... and then a cameo scolding a female chimp in CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES...

MAN BEAST is a basic journey with Asa and four other climbers... including a doctor who's heard about the titular Yeti aka Abominable Snowman, played by a man in a white gorilla suit turning up in the third act after too much dialogue yet there's just-enough suspense... including an enigmatic local native deadiler than the monsters... alongside closeups or wide-shots of professional mountain climbers mountain-climbing, while the actors spout mostly repeated expository: so the saving grace of this very low-budget, mainly talking-head creature feature is that Asa's is shown the most.
