Wow. There have been a lot of reviews for this old movie. That says a lot in itself.
I just saw this movie for the first time several days ago. I picked up a used DVD of it for $3. Glad I did as I really like it.
I expected something totally corny as the cover of the DVD has a robot carrying off a scantily-clad woman like some comic book drivel. So, imagine my surprise when there was actually a decent plot and some rather good acting. The weird audio score impressed me too. It added a novel atmosphere to the whole production. Effects were impressive for way back in the 50s too. The invisible monster had me tense which a lot of newer movies can't come close to doing.
The only thing that seemed a little bogus was Anne Francis being so naive concerning men. She sure was a looker though.
That robot is way cool. I've seen it in some other movies too. I really need one of those around the house eh.
Now some people might find this movie a little slow in places. But, it has such a good story compared to other movies of that era that it's only a minor flaw. Lovers of pure sci-fi will eat this one up.
This is a movie I'll be able to watch many times, which is saying a lot for me. Anyone who cares a whit for sci-fi ought to check this one out.
