Review of The Quatermass Xperiment (1955) by L J — 03 Aug 2007
"There's no room for personal feelings in science, Judith.".
Superb Hammer sci-fi classic, thanks in no small part to Richard Wordsworth's sickly, haunted portrayal of Carroon, the infected astronaut.
Brusque and irritable Brian Donlevy grumpily barges his way through the film as Quatermass; Jane Asher plays the little girl who Carroon encouters by the river (in a scene vaguely reminiscent of the one in Whale's Frankenstein); Jack Warner provides jovial support as the Chief of police.
Scored by the legendary James Bernard (his first for Hammer), this is wonderful stuff.
