THE THING (1951)
While passing their time quietly at an Artic research station, scientists are surprised to discover an alien spacecraft submerged in frozen ice. Further excavation uncovers a frozen alien pilot. Intrigued, the scientists take the alien back to their lab for research. What ensues is a deadly adventure for survival and conquest.
Kenneth Tobey (Strange Invaders) is convincing as a take charge
military type. Margaret Sheridan, as the only female at the base, has
great chemistry with Tobey. James Arness (Gunsmoke) plays the Thing,
a role he sems to have been picked for because of his over six foot
height. Many people believe that producer Howard Hawks directed this
movie.
The cast includes: Kenneth
Tobey, Margaret Sheridan, James
Arness, James Young, Robert Cornthwaite, and Douglas Spencer.
Directed by: Christian Nyby.
