The Fly*  
(US 1958)                      
Twentieth Century Fox. 95m. Cinemascope

A physicist devises a means of matter transmission, but tests it on himself and becomes mutated with a fly also in the transmitter.
Unintentionally risible horror, but a big success at the time for its occasional shocks and unsettling moments, which are a long time coming. The 1986 remake by David Cronenberg put this version in the shade, but the original is at least more palatable as entertainment.
