The Illustrated Man (1969) Part 05

Rod Steiger plays the tattoo-covered title role in this fascinating vision of doom and danger based on the classic short story collection by futurist Ray Bradbury. Robert Drivas portrays a good-natured drifter who can't tear his eyes from Steiger's freakish illustrations. And Claire Bloom is the mysterious seductress/witch from the future who created the "art" that curses its bearer - and comes to life in a nightmarish trio of tales. Two spoiled children turn playtime into slay time (from The Veldt). Shipwrecked astronauts wander across a planet cursed by The Long Rain. And loving parents choose their children's fate when the end nears (from The Last Night of the World). Every one of The Illustrated Man's pictures tells a story.

When you see the kind of sterile environment they live in, is it any wonder the kids went nuts (or did they?)

Also I wonder if this is where Star Trek got the idea for the holodeck from...

Rod Steiger is amazing. How did they make him look so different?! The nose, the chin. He's like two different people!
