That is actress Luce Luz Potter, as the chrome-domed leader of the "Invaders From Mars," the original 1953 film--the one and only--which "Svengoolie" is showing tonight. You do not want to miss this one, girls.
Wait till you see Leif Erickson go from a nice father, to an abusive one. And Janine Perreau, sister of child actress Gigi Perreau, as Kathy Wilson, the embodiment of Fifties childhood conformity!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Directed by William Cameron Menzies, who set designed GWTW, the movie has a visual quality especially artsy in film of this type from this era. Jimmy Hunt gives a haunting performance as the little boy who has the ultimate alien experience.
And then......but I will not tell you anymore. Join us tonight at 8PM, as "Svengoolie" presents this genuine classic. Some of you may want to stay tuned for his second feature, the Jim Henson film, "The Dark Crystal," from 1982. Which really should have been shown last week as it sort of precedes "Labyrinth."
"Invaders From Mars" is one of the few films of its kind where the movie is as good as the poster. So, make sure not to miss it, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely should have been Dark Crystal and THEN Labyrinth
