It's not often that hubbie takes an interest in what I'm reading, but when I was browsing through my latest book he kept peering over my shoulder. "Ooh, Dinky cars," he said, "I used to have some of those." A couple of pages further on and he was at it again. "Look - I remember those big old televisions with tiny screens."

THE OPINION
Although lacking technical sophistication the film still manages to be suspenseful. The fact that it is filmed in black and white complements the stark and remote setting adding to the sense of desolation of the characters cut off as they are from civilisation by their locations and the weather.
The main story of the alien invasion is balanced by the romantic subplot involving the dashing captain Hendry and Nikki Dr Carrington's beautiful assistant.
