There are multiple reasons - it tackled identity, alienation, and corporate control in a bleak sci-fi thriller tone, long before those themes were common. James Wong Howe’s distorted cinematography gave it a modern, paranoid look, Rock Hudson’s vulnerable casting subverted his star image, and its dark, nihilistic ending anticipated the cynicism of 1970s New Hollywood. It’s a fantastic film. | Cinneman | Facebook
