The Illustrated Man (1969) Part 11

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.

I stumbled upon this by looking up a version of "The Veldt" made c. 1980. This version was much better. Good movie

Great film. Glad I finally got a chance to see it. Very 1960's trippy:)

Think I will have to read the book, the film totally lost me.

I think 1 more story & a lot less camp scenes would have been better. Thx 4 posting.

@MisterEvasion He made Carl a weirdo. Carl seemed soo much nicer in the books.

I wish they showed the story of "Zero Hour" and "Fox and the Forest". One of my favorite stories from this book & I love how they did "The Last Night of the World"
