I have to admit that the play was better but the movie chills quite nicely
Or self-righteous killer Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath?
Or Jefferson Smith, wrecker of the Constitution, in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington?
A villain who never appears on-screen and whose voice is never heard?
I preferred Eros (Dudley Manlove) for the alien visitor role. Your stupid minds are just so STUPID STUPID STUPID!
And somebody's responsible!
