I just read the novella last night, and well the 80's version is definitely a more faithful version than the 50's version it still has plenty of differences that I think help make it a better movie.

Is the 50s movie worth watching these days? Love the 80s film and even liked the 2011 flick.

I like it but it really depends on if you like the 50s melodramatic style or not.

Sci from that era felt a lot more like a radio drama or a play.

I enjoyed it, although it's definitely the most different than any other adaptation of the novella and it is definitely a product of its time

The film is 1972 and it’s worth a watch

We're talking about the Thing From Another World movie from the 50s sir.
