Leeper In 1977, STAR WARS proved that there was a big market for science fiction films. A number of Italian filmmakers set out to exploit that market, even at the cost of killing it. They rushed into old factories to make horrible, set-bound melodramas that could make some claims on the science fiction audience. This film has cheap costumes, a bad script, and worse special effects. The aliens are chubby men in green body paint with silly-looking fins on their ears. They are under the thumb of a nasty computer that looks like a toy. The whole combination virtually guarantees that no matter who you are, no matter what kind of films you like, no matter how busy you are, *you* have something more important to do than to watch this film.
