Not of This Earth 1957 4/6

One of Roger Corman's finest science-fiction endeavors of the 1950s, Not of This Earth is an excellent film by any standards. Paul Birch stars as Johnson, a taciturn gentleman in a dark business suit who hires nurse Nadine (Beverly Garland) to care for him. Curious that Johnson needs constant blood transfusions, Dr. Rochelle (William Roerick), Nadine's boss, discovers to his horror that Johnson has no blood of his own! Before he can make this information public, Rochelle is telepathically enslaved by the emotionless Johnson. It soon develops that Johnson is a space alien, sent from his home planet to see if the blood of earthlings can be used by his dying race -- the first step in their ultimate takeover of the world

@Asskicker32294 They made night scenes in the daytime a lot back then for the lighting, except they put a filter on the lense so it looked like a full moon...maybe the budget was too low to afford one, I reckon.

Johnson would be in deep cah-cah today -- lots of viruses going around these days.

Johnson reminds me of an IRS agent circa 1955.
