Message-ID: <265@dcl-cs.UUCP> Date: Mon, 24-Jun-85 17:30:09 EDT Article-I.D.: dcl-cs.265 Posted: Mon Jun 24 17:30:09 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 29-Jun-85 01:49:05 EDT Reply-To: jam@dcl-cs.UUCP (John A. Mariani) Organization: Department of Computing at Lancaster University. Lines: 23 Xpath: icdoc ivax 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". -- UUCP: ...!seismo!mcvax!ukc!icdoc!dcl-cs!jam DARPA: jam%lancs.comp@ucl-cs | Post: University of Lancaster, JANET: jam@uk.ac.lancs.comp | Department of Computing, Phone: +44 524 65201 ext 4467 | Bailrigg, Lancaster, LA1 4YR, UK.
