I saw this movie as a summer rerun in 1962 when I was 11 years old- it rocked my socks. The effects and story still stand up today! A largely unrecognized and fairly low budget classic. This is a nice little edited collage & the music works OK for me too.
i brought a classic sci fi boxset for 11 quid and on it is the incredible shrinking man, the thing from another world ,invasion of the body snatchers ,it came from outer space ,this island earth , and creature from the blavk lagoon pretty awesome boxset with a few classics there...
I read the book and it goes more into detail how he looses his humanity the smaller he gets. How his family slowly don't see him as a person anymore. The smaller he gets he becomes an object to them. Eventually he fits into the palm of his wife's hand and needs to be carried from place to place. He has a five year old daughter who begins to see him as a toy. Even snatching him from the floor and nearly crushing him to death in the process. The little girl becomes so dangerous to him she can't be allowed near him. He becomes totally dependent on Giants for his survival. He shrinks until his giant family looses track of him.
My fave SF flick of the 50's and I've seen them all. The ending is what made it....cosmic and inspirational in a way no movie has been before or since.
I wanted to see him impale the spider. I remember that scene as a kid and went looking for it and well... here it wasn't. I still appreciate what ya got going on though. Good editing.
Amazing! The film does not know him but it is certainly to be seen! I love these stories a little on the edge of reality! Distressing the finish! The man for once and powerless. A man hunted and careful to guard against a cat and a spider insignificant! 5 and added in playlist!
Love and Rockets mixed with a Classic Movie, fantastic. Could have used the "Human League" Empire State Human 12 inch, which has a frame from the Movie, on the back cover. Just Saying.You dig MAd Man...
The newsreader said that the cat was now a FORMER pet of the Carey home, so Louise must have got rid it after she thought it had scoffed her husband.... The lovely spider, alas, will no longer be scampering around the Carey cellar. 😢
This is one of my all time favorite classics! Very clever special effects and great stioryline. I have been searching several websites for the DVD original. The cheapest I found was $17.00 plus $3.99 shipping. eBay was $22.00...this is an old movie. Since it is a classic I'm guessing they are charging more. I want a new DVD of this black and white film at a reasonable price....Any suggestions? Thanks for posting.
My mate laughed when I told them I was planning to become slimmer with just implementing Okibetonic Secrets, but after I showed them amazing results after I used it they're begging me to share with them about it. Of course I won't tell them the details about this diet plan, lol
My work buddy laughed when I told them I was planning to lose weight with just using Okibetonic Secrets, but after I showed these people great results after I used it they're begging me to share with them about it. Of course I won't let them know the details about this diet plan, hahaha
Are you saying that in the near future, when we see your films as a director, we can only expect final scenes of Hitchcock's " Birds" and we will have to leave the cinema without knowing the end?

Great effects for the time and a story that makes you think.

The full movie used to be on here. I hate that it was removed.
Stephanie Newbern. Actually there is a complete copy here on RUclips with excellent video quality but with a smaller screen.

I think his last words were, "I existed".
A great film made in 1957

The part where he opens the door sums up my morning experience. I open my eyes and come face to face with “You gonna feed me?”

Love,
Buster

Great movie! Who is the band? Pretty cool!
I absolutely agree with your last line.
Thank God they didn't film an ending where the shrinking man grew back to normal.

How is it that you put the end just like this? What happened to the cute cat? And to the lovely spider?
christopher242424. The cat has probaly. moved with his wife . As far as the spider is concernad Scott kills it.
The newsreader said that the cat was now a FORMER pet of the Carey home, so Louise must have got rid it after she thought it had scoffed her husband.... The lovely spider, alas, will no longer be scampering around the Carey cellar. 😢
Stupid music spoils a great film finish. Why?
cause this dumb ass got a little Shrinking brain.do not expect too much from him.......................
That is indeed a great box set, and don't forget Tarantula (also directed by Jack Arnold) which is also included.
Why is there music and no dialogue ????
I can't work that out either!!! Brilliant movie

...That wasn't his point, he was talking about the "character" that the cat plays, not the cat itself.

Don't promise the full film only to give this trash!
