THEM!
Even the ants in their little become nuclear. One year after the first
movie mutation for radiation, arrives the quiet and industrious ants
that become huge as a result of the usual nefarious experiment.
"Them!" 1954, directed by Gordon Douglas an excellent craftsman of that
cinema, is a masterpiece of "B Movie" that plays well all the possible
cards.
A film that starts, as everyone in the genre, from the atomic afraid,
and even throws in biblical quotations, not forgetting all the typical
cast of characters, and a vaguely funny side as a significant
achievement.
The beginning more than convincingly shows us a little girl that turn
around in the desert in a catatonic state. The police found her,
as well noted the barbaric murder of her entire family. A mystery, that
will soon be solved thanks to the involvement of the elderly and
partially funny, Prof.Medford a famous myrmecologist accompanied by his
beautiful and capable daughter "Pat".
The two discover precisely these huge ants that wander through the
desert by emitting high-pitched noises. The solution seems easy enough:
the nest and eggs must be destroyed. But unfortunatly some ants have
already fled, someone has embarked on a ship and others have reached
Los Angeles.
This is a very rich plot that adds that situations on situations.
Excellent special effects, such as the reproduction of the monsters or
the reconstruction of the caves.
The comic relief given by Prof.Medford, a great scientist, but also
little dumb, create and interesting and excellent movie from start to
finish.
There is also a very good cast. James Whitmore,a famous actor starred
in several films and popular television series. James Arness is
anotherwell known actor and in this film plays the policeman
Robert Graham. Small part to Fess Parker the famous "Davy Crockett" and
the TV series Daniel Boone. History told that Walt Disney was looking
for an actor for the hero Davy Crockett.So, he saw "Them!" to saw James
Arness. But he was impressed by performance of Parker who was
auditioning and then hired in spite of many other best-known actors.
Parker became a star. And someone says that radiations hurts!
