THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS?---WELL, SORT OF.
|
I'm a HUGE fan of John Wyndham's books LIKE [[ASIN:0812967127 The Day of the Triffids (20th Century Rediscoveries)]],[[ASIN:0237526891 The Midwich Cuckoos: Fast Track Classics (Fast Track Classics Series)]], and [[ASIN:0140010750 The Kraken Wakes]] so movie versions of ANY of these have to be pretty faithful to satisfy me. So far, I have been made happiest by [[ASIN:B000TSTEO6 The Day of the Triffids]] which was a six part mini-series that ran on the BBC back in 1981 and stuck rather closer to the book than this movie managed to do.
Still and all...we have Janette Scott (forever immortalized in the opening song (along with the Triffids) "Science Fiction Double Feature" from [[ASIN:B00006D295 The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Widescreen Edition)]] who was married to Kieron Moore at the time she made this and my other favorite of her films CRACK IN THE WORLD which co-starred Dana Andrews (of LAURA fame).
But the other thrill is seeing Carol (Carole) Ann Ford as "Bettina" a blind French girl. I'm thrilled because, of course, she played "Susan" the grand-daughter of William Hartnell's character on the first season of DOCTOR WHO waaay back in 1963.
No...this isn't a great movie---but it has some hidden treasures. |
