The Incredible Shrinking Man (NOT about this president) is a very good movie. Shrinking Man is so well written, I could imagine it as a three act play in the round, especially that unwrapping scene. Black Lighting or phospherous material could be used to achieve that effect of void today.
The attack of the 50ft Woman, like another movie about a giant Cyclops, were both SEARED into my mind as a kid, watching on tv after dinner hour. This was way back into my childhood, when I was still debating the possible existence of Elves and Leprecahns with my older sister.
The Incredible Shrinking Man is great.
I think the 1950s are the Golden Age of science fiction movies.
