the book, "Cult Movies" by Danny Peary. Some of his criticisms are
valid - what movie is perfect? - but others are pure nit-picking. To
see how Pearys "selective vision" works, also see "Invasion of the
Body Snatchers" in the same book. He has not one single complaint,
other that citing the prologue and epilogue forced on Siegel by
the studio. He cites "IOTBS" as one of the best sci-fi films of the
50's (and I agree), but says nothing about it's major flaw - the
implausible duplication of Becky in the cave. Peary will undoubtedly
celebrate upon hearing about the tentative remake of FP, as he said
it needed a "total overhaul"; we'll see if the remake improves upon
the areas he criticized. - AH
