I'm glad to have a chance to LISTEN to this again. Quite the amazing SF/X for the pandora box. We just caught this film on PBS last night and they played this original ending. Who gets credit for the sound here: Frank Devol (composer) or Jack Solomon (sound)? There are some neat electronic effects in there.

I can see why Mickey Spillane hated this. A lot of great stuff is missing, like Hammer's worship of Velda. And a lot of BS is added like the ridiculous dialogue in the car with Christina.

@monk22yrs The Godfather was good, but highly overrated because the movie doesn't really go anywhere. Casino was a real bore; too long and not very interesting. If you want vulgarity, try From Dusk Till Dawn.

I hadn't heard that about Alien, but my point was that what we think of as mild today would've been utterly shocking in years past. And there's not much shocking today anyway, aside from the sheer mindless brutality of garbage like Hostel that didn't deserve to be made anyway.

@moparmonster1965 Once upon a time movies had great dialogue, even in the '70s with THE GODFATHER---20 years later there's CASINO, with 400 curse words---but none of the memorable dialogue of THE GODFATHER, which has few curse words....+ again, the funny thing is, ALIEN is a gory reworking of the 50s movie, IT THE TERROR FROM OUTER SPACE

@monk22yrs That's true in a sense, but we're also talking about an era when we weren't desensitized to what we see in the movies now. Take the movie Alien back to 1955 and you'd have Ridley Scott being jailed over the content and realism of the movie.

It's like Eminem flipping people the bird today, as if that's still shocking. It's passe' because it's all been done before, but back then, this stuff was still fresh and new, things that people hadn't seen before.

@moparmonster1965 The weird thing is, movies were a lot better when there was some censorship, and moral outrage; today anything goes----and movies stink!

@ICit4U07 The original content could've been committed to celluloid before that asshole, Estes Kefauver, launched his self-appointed moral crusade against movies, books, and magazines. Pulp fiction, up to and including Spillane's later work, wasn't the same after 1957.

In the book, the box contained drugs (tho he still burns down the house). Thank god they changed it for the movie.
