The Trollenberg Terror*

(GB 1958)                                                   

An alien lifeforce resides at the top of a Swiss mountain.
Thrifty but quite suspenseful British sci-fi, until the monsters start to show up and 50s monster movie cliches set in (the film was titled The Crawling Eye in America).

Written by: Jimmy Sangster, based on the TV series by Peter Key.
Producers: Robert S. Baker, Monty Berman.
Director: Quentin Lawrence.
Starring: Forrest Tucker, Janet Munro, Jennifer Jayne, Laurence Payne, Warren Mitchell, Andrew Faulds.
Photography: Monty Berman.
Music: Stanley Black.

THE TROLLENBERG TERROR. As far back as 1958, Warren Mitchell (centre) was playing eccentric older men, in the days long before Alf Garnett. Janet Munro is the telepathic heroine under the influence of the mysterious aliens outside the laboratory.
