I had never seen The Fly (1958) although I had watched the 1986 remake a few times. I really did not think it would be for me with the photos I had seen of the man/fly makeup. I was wrong. Thanks to the hosts at @screamscenepodcast for their excellent review of this film, I gave it a try. This is a super film built on the tension of knowing what happens but not knowing why. Vincent Price plays a secondary role to stars David Hedison and Patricia Owens, and all three are very good. The standout in the film is the script which begins with a murder mystery and why would a happily married couple end up with the wife killing her husband in a gruesome way (even in 2022 it's still pretty shocking). The story then unfolds slowly but deliberately with tension building to the eventual reveal of the man/fly. I would never say that the makeup/effects are on par with today, but by 1958 standards this was excellent. The conclusion comes in a famous scene that has been parodied for years, but watching in the context of the entire film it works extremely well.
Do not mistake this for one of the myriad of cheap sci-fi horror films produced in the late 1950's. This was a A-Level picture from 20th Century Fox with all of the care, attention, and budget associated. And it shows. Very much recommended.

That was horrifying. I wasn’t expecting to be this disturbed. The Fly (1958) is a classic for a reason. It starts as a gruesome mystery, then progresses into true sci-fi horror. The suspense changes directions, but never lets up. The cinematography is compelling. I love the special effects. Vincent Price is wonderfully expressive, but Patricia Owens is the star. She expertly matches an over the top story with expressions that don’t come across over-exaggerated. The show just wouldn’t have held up without her.
