Background info.

By 1956, sci-fi movies were being taken more seriously by both the film industry and the public.

Yeah.

So Invasion of the Body Snatchers, original 1956 version.

This is the one directed by Don Siegel with Kevin McCarthy, probably still best known for this film, and Dana Winter.

Do you know what I mean? I really like the character that Dana Winter plays for various reasons.

And it was a nice little surprise when I saw her.

Yeah, no, it's, it's, it's great stuff.

Uh, and, and yeah, and, and, and, uh, and, And she's really great, and Brooke Adams is really great in this as a very conflicted woman, as is Dana Winter in the first one, who was a very versatile actress.

She could play an ingenue, and she could also play an evil woman, and she did things in between.

It's a shame we didn't see a lot more of Brooke.

...

Dana Winter is the, is the wife.

Uh, Barbara Hale is in there.

She's a-

the relieved it's over rather than celebrating.

Because you see Dana Winter turn around and say, I thought I'd be celebrating by now, but I just can't

or something like that.

And it really brings it home to you, the fact that they knew that the Bismarck was done for.
