Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With its modest special effects, lean plot, and small cast of lesser stars, this
1951 thriller remains a sturdy blueprint for fusing horror and science fiction.
The formula has been employed countless times since, fleshed out with more
extensive and elaborate production values, and manned by higher profiled marquee
names, but the results have yet to improve on The Thing from Another World,
Howard Hawks's lone foray into sci-fi. The story begins as military airmen are
dispatched to a remote Arctic research station where scientists have detected
the crash of a spacecraft. An effort to retrieve the saucer-shaped vehicle
fails, but the team returns to the station with the frozen body of its sole
occupant. When the extraterrestrial pilot is accidentally thawed, the crew,
headed by a tough-talking pilot (Kenneth Tobey), grapples with a massive,
chlorophyll-based humanoid (James Arness) thirsty for blood and in no mood for
galactic diplomacy.

Hawks takes only a production credit for this low-budget exercise, but his
filmmaking style transcends Christian Nyby's nominal direction: rapid-fire,
overlapping dialogue, an ensemble of comrades whose professionalism is tempered
by wisecracks, and unsentimental female characters (embodied by feisty romantic
interest Margaret Sheridan) recall Hawks's signature works, while propelling the
plot over any potential gaps in credibility. It's hardly surprising, then, that
The Thing from Another World remains among the most influential science fiction
movies ever shot, or that it remains exciting entertainment a half century
later.
