Underwhelming start to Disney's 1962 live-action offerings. I didn't enjoy 'Moon Pilot'. It's far too talky for my liking, with pretty much 80/90% of the film filled with build-up to the 'main event' which ends up concluding all too quickly. There's slight mystery there with the secondary premise, but that's unfulfilled in favour of chit-chat. The cast don't give performances to be remembered. Tom Tryon is alright but mostly dull as Capt. Talbot. Dany Saval is OK as Lyrae, her role is barely developed in fairness - her overall shtick is being female, it seems. Brian Keith (Maj. Vanneman) and Edmond O'Brien (McClosky) standout most, but both overact from start-to-finish; especially the shouty Keith. The intrigued surrounding Lyrae is all I have to praise, to be honest. There's a potentially good film in there, but James Neilson and crew didn't realise it unfortunately. I'm sure we'll get a remake some day.
