The Thing from Another World - "We finally got one..."

[bruce8420]

I posted this one elsewhere-a C47 never could have flown non-stop from Anchorage to the North Pole let alone back again.. It didn't carry nearly enough fuel.

It's from.....Uranus!

This looks far superior to most sci-fi movies from the 50's. I'm guessing 'The Thing' prequel coming this year follows the events of this movie more than Carpenter's 1982 film.

@Vaultboy101

Nope it's a prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 version and that movie was a faithful re-adaptation of John Campbell's Who Goes There

That scene where they try to "figure out the shape of this thing," still works today perhaps because of the music. One thing I noticed, the crewmen operating the flaps (Dewey?) is standing up during the landing. One would think everyone would have to be seated and strapped in "for landing."

LOVE Tiomkin's score. Without question, my favorite by a composer whose music I mostly despise.

[spsmyth]

@Cramnella You should try Rio Bravo. Another Hawks film with great music by Tiomkin.

The end of the world is coming soon. The funny thing about it is...we don't even know it. It's the one's from above. They live among us and are destroying the earth. They are killing up all the fish, wild life, plant life. The world population is soring. Soon there will not be enough resources to sustain human life. War, natural disasters are every where. Beware my follow earthlings. The end us coming soon.

@lightningattack1 a scientist said witht the amount of overpopulation and the lack of resources on the earth the entire history of the human race will be a bitter struggle for survival and he wasnt a mad scientist like the one in the thing

Great movie.

@Spartacus217

What do you think of John Carpenter's version? or the novella that inspired this "Who Goes There" by John Campbell?
