I saw this early yesterday evening at the Hyde Park Picture House with ms_siobhan and planet_andy, to the accompaniment of a 'live re-score' by a Sheffield outfit named Animat. It stars Vincent Price, and is the earliest adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 book, I Am Legend. Later versions of this book are generally better-known: The Omega Man (1971) with Charlton

Mr Pops has just bought a copy and it will be with us (postie willing) in the next couple of days - then you'll have to come round and watch it with us.

It was such a beautifully shot film in places, the deserted streets were very well done and it made me love Vincent Price even more :-)

Ooh, lovely! I shall look forward to it immensely.
