Sorry to bother you with this; I'll try to keep it as short as possible.
For years now I have had a vague memory of an SF movie; whenever I seek
help, no one seems to have heard of it. I now realise the net is possibly
the best chance I'll ever have of finding someone who also remembers it.

Synopsis : scientist experimenting with radiation (ho,hum). Radiation
affects insects, causing them to grow to man-size. Earth (or at least, island
of *mad* scientist and lovely daughter) in jeopardy! Help arrives in the form 
of a flying saucer carrying an apparent human (male). He solves the problem;
lovely daughter falls for spaceman. Close of film, as spaceman leaves, she
tells him of her love. He reveils this is not his true form; to his race,
she is revolting. Exeunt.

Terrible, isn't it! I think the man was played by Michael Rennie -- but
I could just be mixing this up with the magnificent "The Day The Earth
Stood Still". Answers, if any, by "mail" please; I'll post the best answer
(and credit the sender). I'll get out of your way now; thanks for "listening".
