INVASION '51: THE BIRTH OF ALIEN CINEMA - Softcover Book

New book! By Sean Kotz. Between March and September of 1951, three very different films launched a new Hollywood genre, the alien invasion feature: THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, and then there is THE MAN FROM PLANET X, whose ambiguous alien may have gotten some clandestine design help from the C.I.A. The crossover of real-life alien encounters and impact on the movies. A very, very interesting study with photos from Roswell and the ballyhoo for 1950s sci-fi films.
