Boom in the Moon (aka A Modern Bluebeard) - Jaime Salvador (1946

A Mexican-made quickie with late season Buster Keaton in a starring role. A few moments of Keaton's physical genius shine through in an otherwise unwatchable movie.

Interestingly one scene of a scientist lecturing his colleagues on his project to send a rocket to the moon is lifted almost directly from Melies' A Trip to the Moon.
