Invasion of the Body Snatchers - (Don Siegel;1956;USA) - ***1/2
Plant-like pods begin hatching in the basements of a small town, turning the residents into emotionless people.
A great film, although not as good as I thought it would be. The original ending would've made this much better, but still this is a strong film that can be used as an allegory for the McCarthy blacklisting. McCarthy (ironic, huh?) gives a pretty good performance in the lead, and the supporting cast supports the film well. Not Siegel's best but great nevertheless.
