Maybe I should amend that '67 was the best year for music over the radio. No genre separation back then. Motown was followed Baez followed by the British Invasion followed by LA / SF psychedelia followed by Dylan, u.s.w.

Philo and I watched a B-movie SF marathon of sorts over the weekend -- gotta escape the news out there somehow -- and one called Monolith Monsters involved using bombed dam waters through an old CA desert salt mine to create a saline solution to stop the silicon monsters arriving on Earth as meteorites. It was a hoot.

It was rather odd that almost every one of those we watched, including a Japan/Germany collab called "X from Outer Space" had as a subplot some triangle where two women were mooning over the same "hunk," And these were female *scientists* engaged in these catfights. What in the world was going on in the zeitgeist back in late '50's early '60's?

Hi DJ Scott and everyone.

@ kat330: May I chime in and suggest that SF genre films in the post-war years followed the prevailing dramatic fashions just like any Hollywood films, and that audiences still wanted to see "strong" female characters (as they had since the 20's)-- --and in the 50's that often appeared as a heated competition between two female characters for something they both want, most often a man.
One of the most interesting examples of current dramatic styles "invading" a genre film came a little later, in Hitchcock's "The Birds." Tennessee Williams was the hottest thing then, and in the middle of the SF scenario there's a totally Williams-like Gothic-psychological battle over Rod Taylor between Tippi Hedren and Jessica Tandy (as his mother!) It's a Disaster/Horror/Sci-fi thriller with a (then) totally trendy soap opera grafted on...
Avatar 4:04pm
kat330:

@P-90: Thesis material there! :) It was just so surprising that *every* one of those B movies we watched had that exact same subplot. I had bought several sets of SF for Philo's birthday, but we watched from all different sets, so it wasn't a specific theme for a set or anything.

However, we cleansed our palate by finishing up with "African Queen" -- one strong woman and one lovable goofball performance by Bogie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:08pm
DCE:

getting pretty deep into the swamp on this one
  4:12pm
P-90:

@ Kat: Those were the "B" movies. The "A" Science Fiction movies of the '50s (there's just about 5 of them) were much more mature and creative about relationships and gender roles.
I still think the the romance between Gene Barry and Ann Robinson in "The War of the Worlds" is one of the best examples of a "love story" being wedged into something that originally had nothing of the sort, in any Hollywood movie...

...late to the Show & Comments !...
...Pals' 'WarOfTheWorlds' may have stuck to H.G. Wells' story as far as the Romance - if the 70s RockOpera (which I like!) is any indication; myself, I say stick to the original Victorian - & le the Empire Metaphors fall where they may. I would say most Alien Invasions are a Variation on Wells here...
...Gotta stump for 'ForbiddenPlanet' - which was a direct bid for a high budget for a 50s SciFi - based on The Tempest, & in turn a direct template for StarTrek & its' ilk
- & an interesting contrast to 'DayEarthStoodStill's austere stylistic elegance...'Day' is based on an earlier Pulp story - as many were, some better than others...
