The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)
Country: US
Technical: bw 81m
Director: Jack Arnold
Cast: Grant Williams, Randy Stuart
Synopsis:
An ordinary guy comes into contact with a radioactive mist and, later, insecticide, causing him to begin to shrink alarmingly.
Review:
This classic 50s Sci-Fi adroitly segues from mildly comic (Scott becomes a national sensation) to the nightmarish, as his size places him in ever graver jeopardy. Ultimately it brushes with eternal questions, as he becomes a pioneer in the realm of quantum particles. Technically, it is also a triumph, moving from scaled sets to back projection and process work.
