NIGHT CALLER FROM OUTER SPACE 1965 (IMAGE)

Unusual British sci-fi.

John Saxson stars as an American scientist in England who along with two other scientists discover that a meteor that has landed is actually a device for allowing an alien from Ganymede, the 12th moon of Jupiter, to come to earth and kidnap women to help them repopulate their world.

Maurice Denham and Patricia Haines are the other two scientists and it's interesting to note that Haines, the leading lady is killed about 2/3rds into the movie. The alien is weird looking and very soft spoken and this movie plays like a film noir most of the time.

Shot in black and white with nice use of shadows and lighting and very good direction from John Gilling. Good for Sci-Fi fans.
