Red Scare - My Top 5 50s Horror Movies #Film #Horror #Cinema

The 1950s marked a significant era in the history of horror films, bringing forth a unique blend of fear, suspense, and social anxieties. This period saw the rise of science fiction-infused horror, capitalizing on the fears and uncertainties of the time. The nuclear age, Cold War tensions, and the fear of communism created a fertile ground for filmmakers to explore themes of mutation, invasion,…

The Thing from Another World (1951)

My rating: 6/10

Not bad, as 50s monster movies go. There are some genuine attempts at a plot and characters with personalities, and even some humor - though the monster is literally just some guy, which is kind of sad.

Cast: Kenneth Tobey, Margaret Sheridan, Robert Cornthwaite, Douglas Spencer, James Young, Dewey Martin, Robert Nichols, William Self, Eduard Franz, James Arness. Screenplay: Charles Lederer, Howard Hawks, Ben Hecht, based on a story by John W. Campbell Jr. Cinematography: Russell Harlan. Art direction: Albert S. D'Agostino, John Hughes. Film editing: Roland Gross. Music: Dimitri Tiomkin.

Monkey Business (Howard Hawks, 1952)

Ginger Rogers, Charles Coburn, and Marilyn Monroe in Monkey Business

Cast: Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Charles Coburn, Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Marlowe, Henri Letondal, Robert Cornthwaite, Larry Keating, Douglas Spencer, Esther Dale, George Winslow. Screenplay: Ben Hecht, Charles Lederer, I.A.L. Diamond, Harry Segall. Cinematography: Milton R. Krasner. Art direction: George Patrick, Lyle R. Wheeler. Film editing: William B. Murphy. Music: Leigh Harline, Oddly, the most "Hawksian" of these two early 1950s Howard Hawks movies is the one for which he is credited as producer and not as director. The fact that The Thing From Another World displays Hawks's typical fast-paced, overlapping dialogue and has a heroine who can hold her own around men has led many to suggest that Hawks really directed it. The rumor is that Hawks gave Christian Nyby the director's credit so that Nyby could join the Directors Guild. It was the first directing credit for Nyby, who had worked as film editor for Hawks on several films, including Red River (Hawks, 1948), for which Nyby received an Oscar nomination. He went on to a long career as director, mostly on TV series like Bonanza and Mayberry R.F.D., but the controversy over whether he or Hawks directed The Thing has never really quieted down. In any case, The Thing is a landmark sci-fi/horror film, with plenty of wit and some engaging performances, particularly by Margaret Sheridan as the no-nonsense Nikki, secretary to a scientist at a research outpost near the North Pole where a flying saucer has crashed with a mysterious inhabitant. Nikki's old flame, Capt. Hendry (Kenneth Tobey), arrives with an Air Force crew to investigate, and Sheridan and Tobey have a little of the bantering chemistry of earlier Hawksían couples like Bogart and Bacall in To Have and Have Not (1944) or Montgomery Clift and Joanne Dru in Red River. Though it's a low-budget cast, everyone performs with wit and conviction. The film has dated less than other invaders-from-outer-space movies of the '50s, partly because of its lightness of touch and a few genuine scares, though its concluding admonition, "Watch the skies," is pure Cold War paranoia at its peak. That's James Arness, pre-Gunsmoke, as the Thing. The screenplay is by Charles Lederer, with some uncredited contributions from Ben Hecht, both of them frequent collaborators with Hawks. Both of them also worked on Monkey Business, a very different kind of movie, whose writers also include Billy Wilder's future collaborator, I.A.L. Diamond. The film evokes Hawks's great Bringing Up Baby (1938) by featuring Cary Grant as a rather addled scientist, Dr. Barnaby Fulton, who becomes involved in some comic mishaps brought about by an animal -- a leopard in the earlier film, a chimpanzee in this one. But the giddiness of Bringing Up Baby never quite emerges, partly because of a lack of chemistry between Grant and Ginger Rogers, who plays his wife, Edwina. The script involves Fulton's work on a rejuvenating drug that the chimpanzee manages to empty into a water cooler, thereby turning anyone who drinks it into an irresponsible 20-year-old. Grant is an old master at this kind of nonsense, but Rogers looks stiff and starchy and ill-at-ease trying to match him -- except, of course, when she is called on to dance, which she still does splendidly. Fortunately, there's some engaging support from Charles Coburn as Fulton's boss, who has a "secretary" played by Marilyn Monroe. ("Find someone to type this," he tells her.) Her role is the air-headed blonde stereotype that she found so difficult to escape -- "Mr. Oxley's been complaining about my punctuation, so I'm careful to get here before nine," she tells Fulton -- but no one has ever been better at playing it. Where The Thing From Another World succeeds despite a less-than-stellar cast, Monkey Business depends heavily on star power, for it gives off a feeling that its genre, screwball comedy, had played out by the time it was made.

The Thing from Another World ,es una película de culto , de nacionalidad estadounidense , de ciencia ficción y terror dirigida en 1951 por Christian Nyby y Howard Hawks (este último sin acreditar).

El guion se basó en el relato de John W. Campbell Who Goes There?.

La película se estrenó el 6 de abril de 1951 en los Estados Unidos y fue un éxito de taquilla.

Esta adaptación de una narración de John Wood Campbell se convertiría en uno de los clásicos de la ciencia ficción, estableciendo unos arquetipos que se han venido repitiendo hasta nuestros días, ya que esta película, con unos modestos efectos especiales y un reparto poco conocido, se ha convertido en uno de los paradigmas del terror y de la ciencia ficción, y su fórmula, además de resistir muy bien el paso del tiempo, ha sido copiada en muchas ocasiones y ha influido en todo el cine que ha llegado después.
