INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956)
Intro by film historian Foster Hirsch on Fri, Feb. 2. Hirsch’s latest book "Hollywood and the Movies of the Fifties" will be available for sale and signing.
"They're here already! You're next! You're next, You're next…!" Alien spores fall on a small California town, but this invasive species is no mere weed — it creates duplicate "pod people," emotionless, hive-minded counterfeits that eliminate and replace their hosts one by one until they've taken over the community. Cold War-era, Red Scare paranoia makes for intriguing subtext in this 1950s sci-fi classic. DIR Don Siegel; SCR Daniel Mainwaring, from the novel by Jack Finney; PROD Walter Mirisch. U.S., 1956, b&w, 80 min. NOT RATED
