  • Time to finally express my thanks. :) I was almost resigned to never being able to see this, stumbled upon it purely by accident, and have been glued to YouTube since. I still live in desperate hope for a good offical DVD release (a shame they couldn't have managed one in Nigel Kneale's lifetime), but I'm grateful to know that this is here is the waiting becomes interminable...

  • the actress who plays julia makes the transit between the two versions of her character really well you believe what you see thats what i call acting

  • @MoveOverCasanova both film versions are wrong, in the book, orwell mentions that julia and possibly winston had a lobotomy in their reeducation process

  • I would like to thank you for posting this video, I had never seen this before nor had I heard of it. I am not often emotionally moved by anything but this movie has made a great impression on me. The hardest thing for me was watching this and realizing this is our reality in todays society.

  • Have mentioned this at the beginning of this this showing there is 1986 a book that was written by a writer who was living in the Eastern Europe when Communist Russia was still in control. I purchased the book and read it in the mid 1980s.

  • andre morell was great in this..very good as quatermass also

  • Quite a production for 1954 television. It was striking to see Peter Cushing and Yvonne Mitchell so bedraggled and broken. Mitchell especially succeeds in conveying the empty bitterness that now fills Julia's soul. They both have become old and dead inside —an impression created by their voices as they play out the last scene in the Chestnut Tree. Given the limitations of the production it was a very well-done piece and carried quite well by the actors.

  • the end is rubbish!

    it is not credible. you can torture people, but you cannot break them that intensely for long.

    why should they run around like madfolks and don´t bother at all?

    the story is good but that ending is just not the way it goes

  • This last part is brilliantly acted.

  • Thanks so much for posting this. Fantastic adatpion. Great performances. Could you imagine anything this daring being broadcast today! I didn't recognise Andre Morrel who was a fine Quatermass as well.

  • Yeah I remember the passage and thought it was what you may have been refering to but it was a dream not something that happened

  • What part was that? Never happened in the book.
