In Reply to: Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956): A Brief Review posted by AudioHead on October 14, 1999 at 14:03:45:
I wonder how much of the theme of Invasion of the Body Snatchers was also related to the Red Scare of the 50's?
The surgence of alien invasion movies in the 50's can be mainly attributed to
two factors: (1) the public's cold war anxiety and paranoia; and (2) the
public's increased awareness, curiousity and anxiety over UFO phenomena
that started with a film taken by an observer in Washington State featuring
a supposed formation of "flying saucers" in July 1947; followed the next
month by an alledged alien spacecraft crash outside of Roswell, New Mexico. - AH
