This movie has very strong existential themes relating to Buber's I-It relation.

this original version is a lot better than the newer one. This one sustains an atmosphere of desperation and opression as I never seen again. Remember that this movie has almost 60 years.

I think the "luminous toxin" with "no antidote" mentioned was meant to be an easy way for that time (1950) to say he recieved a lethal does of radiation poison. Dennis Quaid did star in a remake with Meg Ryan around 1990. In it, he received a lethal dose from unknowingly swallowing a capsule of (strotium90?) given to him by his plagerizing muderer.

Wasn't this remade with Dennis Quaid. I've not seen this but I want to. I saw the Dennis Quaid one years ago, and it was good!! Thanks. I hope I can find this, as I love old movies.
