Another of those 50's films that really hits the bullseye. It had a matter-of-factness in the presentation that made it so convincing. Right up there with The Thing, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. A classic.

Speaking of remakes - The remake of "Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers" had it's redeeming qualities. A good cast - Goldblum , Sutherland , Nimoy and a class act by someone for the cameo appearance by McCarthy.
It missed the scary core of the original. That the change in people was subtle , very hard to define. In the remake , rabid sports fans became complacent sleepwalkers. Not a good reading !
