Exzur
Exzur by Nemesio Caravana Illustrated by Dionisio Roque Liwayway Issue July 2 1956
Steve, This was made into the first SciFi movie in Philippine cinema I think. But now I can't remember the actor who played Exzur. If I remember correctly, Premier Productions held a contest for the lead role and a Mr. Philippines won the title role for the movie. Can't remember the name of the actor, I think he made this movie and maybe two or three more and disappeared. Rod
Rod Films was produced by Peoples Pictures, The Actors were Danilo Montes, Edna Luna, And Jose Velez as Exzur. Sayang ang mga lumang pelikula natin, walng tayong matinong archive sa pinas. Its either nasunog o nabasa sa bodega. Meron sana sa Manila Film Center, di naman inilagaan. Nasunog at binaha pa.
