QUATERMASS 2 1958 (ANCHOR BAY)

One of the most influential films of my life.

Brain Donlevy again stars as Bernard Quatermass who is still trying to fight Government bureaucrats and get his rocket program off the ground.

He soon finds himself involved in an investigation about a small town that has vanished and a "Moon Project" just like his that has sprung up overnight near the town. He finds that aliens have made their base there and are breeding giant creatures to take over the earth.

Donlevy gives his usual great performance as the no nonsense scientist who does things his way and no other. He again enlists the help of Inspector Lomax and both these men slowly uncover the insidious plot.

This is extremely well made British sci-fi and a film that shouldn't be missed by anyone. The rest of the cast includes John Longdon as Lomax, Bryan Forbes, Michael Ripper and the gorgeous Vera Day. Highly Recommended film.
