Description: Actually this film although campy and Cheesy was very typical of 1950s Sci-Fi. At the time in our history people were terrified of nuclear weapons and I do mean terrified. I didnt realize how on edge people were until the Cuban missile crises. I was in elementary school at the time and my teachers were panicking and crying at the news. 1950s films often show our uneasiness with the nuclear age. The giant ants in the movie "Them" and the many giant Spider flicks. Then there were drama films like "On The Beach" 1959 and "X-The Unknown." I seems to me while the government and scientists were telling us that nuclear power was a great hope for the future, Hollywood was rife with green radioactive clouds, radioactive monsters, radioactive blobs! Is a a wonder that no one really wants a nuclear power plant in their back yard.
