Synopsis
This month marks the first double feature that comes with an essay about the films (“Shrinking Men”) written by our host Brett Ryan Bonowicz.
THE FILMS:
THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN (1957)
While on a boating trip, Scott Carey is exposed to a radioactive cloud. Nothing seems amiss at first, but several months later Scott realizes that he's shrunk in height by several inches. He sees a doctor, who admits that he's baffled. As Scott continues to shrink, decreasing to three feet tall, he becomes bitter, and lashes out at his wife, Louise. He begins to fear a cure will never be found - since even as he becomes a national sensation, he's still shrinking.
ATTACK OF THE 50FT WOMAN (1958)
When an abused socialite grows to giant size because of an alien encounter and an aborted murder attempt, she goes after her cheating husband with revenge on her mind.
