Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released same year as Invasion of the Body Snatchers, this film got buried and dismissed as 'just' a B-movie—now reclaimed as feminist parable about women not being believed.
Star Tom Tryon later became a bestselling horror novelist (The Other, Harvest Home) after quitting Hollywood—apparently aliens gave him career advice.
