The Limb Salesman Too Bad To Be Good

Years from now, people might look back on The Limb Salesman as a classic so-bad-it's-good B movie in the grand tradition of Plan 9 and The Bad Seed. The concept of water as a rare delicacy will be seen as charmingly ridiculous instead of annoyingly stupid. Viewers might just chuckle at it, instead of wondering why no one's dead or the least bit dehydrated. The way that Peter Stebbings lasciviously rubs his lips after sipping water might become as classic as Nomi Malone pronouncing Versace as "versase" in Showgirls. It might even be said that The Limb Salesman has the most unintentionally hilarious crippled-girl-tried-to-walk-but-falls scene since The Giant Gila Monster. But until that day, people will just say that it sucks.
