This difficult drama depicts the theme of emasculation and helplessness in the face of overwhelming terror through a realistic lens, separating it from the genre trappings of our other three presentations. I Live in Fear depicts the crippling effect that the realities of life in our terrifying modern world can have on our psyche and our relationships.

Here, the power of unknown science renders a man into a child in his own home, then a doll, and finally in a harrowing ending Arnold had to fight to retain, shrinking into infinitesimal nothingness. The ideal American man of the 1950s was king of his castle, but the incredible shrinking man is dwarfed and defeated by his.

Sure to surprise anyone familiar with the later campier incarnations of the character, the original Godzilla is a dark and unrelenting work of righteous anger and despair.

Them! presents a typical 1950s American enemy - a relentless insidious hive mind, and a typical 1950s American response - trust in your police, scientists, military, and government officials and everything will be okay.
