Thank you for this great old movie , do you have more old movies???. and do you have part 2 and three of the fly.

[Time0Travel]

@LORDJESUSCHRISTCHILD I have them, but youtube won't let me upload any more 15+ minute videos:( I thought of posting them on my other channel gohikenh, but they don't really fit in there.

The Miranda Warning preceded its namesake. I'm curious why there was no music cue for the scene where the husband is killed; the scene as it is seems rather flat when it should have had dramatic music. Also the horror of the human fly would have been more effective if it had a buzzing sound throughout. Very interesting "Oedipal" subtext: the man in love with his brother's wife is united w/her as a happy family! Similar to HAMLET. It's curious that Price didn't play the fly! Good film. Thx.

lol. "Into space...in a stream of cat atoms."

So funny at around 50mins when Vincent Price says 'what's the new invention? ..flat screen?' And now we have flat screens :)

@cropcircle82: Thanks so much for your so thoroughly solving "The Hedison Mystery", LOL. Now that's a solid 24k gold trivia nugget! Also thanks for sharing your mutual "Time Travel" memories of the huge, curved CinemaScope screen, precursor of the mind-bending, and even huger CinerAma 3:1 Ultra Panavision screen, which was actually not a smooth screen surface, but carefully angled thin hanging discrete vertical blind-like panels- yet the image was razor-sharp. IMAX is interesting, but ... ;)

@ANTINUTZI No, it's the same guy - NBC insisted he change his name when he appeared in one of their shows a year after this film, so thereafter he used his middle name instead.

PS Time0Travel - Thank you so much for posting this in its entirety - its science might be highly questionable but I'd forgotten how well-crafted and emotionally charged the film is.

Many thanks for the excellent upload of this classic! as a 7 year old boy, I saw it first-run on the huge CinemaScope screens of the day, and it really creeped me out- especially that memory-scorching "Help me!" grand finale. *Shudder* I'm no arachnophobe, but anything too big, too fast, and too close *will* make me shriek like a microwaved bat and jump a country mile. Q: "Al" Hedison in the credits? Did *David* Hedison have an identical twin?

@Inpri it's riddiculous compared to the '86 version. ;)

I remember first seeing this, when I was in junior high, on the old "CBS Thursday Night at the Movies." My entire family watched it, including my mom who hated sci-fi but became enthralled. The next day, at school, everyone was talking about it.
