A genuine Sci-fi classic
The 1950s witnessed a boom in science fiction movies. Many featured giant insects, dinosaurs, outer space creatures or radiation gone wrong. “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” was different. It dealt with alien invasion, but an insidious form. No rocket ships, ray guns, war machines or flying saucers were involved. The invasion was quiet. Seeds from space took hold in fields and grew into pods that had the ability to take over human bodies, robbing them of emotion. Released as a modest programmer in 1956, the film has over the years achieved the status of science fiction classic.<br /><br />Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) returns to the small town of Santa Mira to discover that several of his patients are suffering from the paranoid delusion that their relatives or friends are not themselves. Initially skeptical, Bennell is eventually persuaded that something odd has happened and determines to find out what’s causing the phenomenon.<br /><br />Bennell learns that Becky Driscoll (Dana Winter), recently divorced, is also back in town. Bennell, also divorced, and Becky are attracted to each other. Meanwhile, a series of events in town escalates, revealing a sinister plot intended to subvert and take over mankind. Pods have been placed in homes to inhabit the bodies of humans when they sleep. Bennell and Becky attempt to foil the plot, but encounter one obstacle after another as they are singled out by a growing number of “pod people.”<br /><br />Shot on a budget of $380,000, “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” has stood the test of time because it plays so realistically, with Bennell discovering what’s happening, and trying to digest it as we learn with him. He acts intelligently, never falling into cliched thriller behaviors of doing dumb things simply to create scare moments. His desperation increases when he sees how widespread the plan is.<br /><br />McCarthy is a first-rate actor who sells his role beautifully. He plays it straight, building his performance from mild interest to resigned determination to stop this new kind of plague. A stage-trained actor who usually was assigned secondary leads in films, McCarthy had his first starring role in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.”<br /><br />The movie resonates because its theme of individualism vs. conformity is timeless. Back in the Eisenhower era, blending in and becoming part of the community was regarded as something to aspire to. Suburban homes looked alike, cars looked alike, and family’s took on a homogeneous appearance. The film has often been viewed as a metaphor for communism or even as a commentary on McCarthyism. Director Don Siegel said he thought it was about insomnia, since he was an insomniac. You can look at the subtext of the movie in many ways, but it holds up as one of the best science fiction movies of all time, even though it was ignored by critics during its original run. It was remade twice, once in 1978 and again in 1993.<br /><br />The Blu-ray black & white release is presented in the short-lived widescreen Superscope aspect ratio of 2.00:1. The film has a mono soundtrack. Optional English subtitles are available.<br /><br />Bonus features include audio commentary by historian Richard Harland Smith; audio commentary by actors Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter and filmmaker Joe Dante; gallery of documents detailing aspects of the film’s production; original theatrical trailer; 8-page booklet containing a synopsis and essay with black & white stills; profile of producer Walter Wanger; a look at the movie’s locations; a rundown of the many titles suggested for the film; and other behind-the-scenes featurettes.
