Return Of The Fly [HD]

Film Noir is alive and Flying
This is an interesting sequel to 1958's "The Fly." Brydon Baker's black & white photography gives it a feel of film noir instead of science fiction. Both Vincent Price and Bret Halsey turn in believable performances. This can be attributed to Director Edward Bernds' choice to concentrate on characterization over the science fiction elements, which had also been effectively accomplished in the original. John Sutton as Inspector Charas turned in his best performance since 1952's "Five Fingers." The score by Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter was very effective to the mood of the piece. This is an excellent and highly underrated film.

Curiosity Killed the Fly
David Hedison's character is dead, but his son returns in the form of actor Bret Halsey. Halsey follows in his father's footsteps. Vincent Price returns and reluctantly helps Halsey with the experiments. This is not a bad sequel but its black & white photography and plot about stealing scientific research secrets, which was ahead for its time, sets it apart from the original.

Big Head
The Return of the Fly is 78 minutes long and was released August 1959. This film was shot in black and white to save on costs. Also with this Fly, his head is bigger and his left arm and right leg are part of a fly. In the original only the head and left arm are parts of the fly. With the fly only the head of the human is showing; the right leg and left arm are missing. The story is set fifteen years in the future. The movie starts off with the funeral of Helene DeLambre. Her son Philippe DeLambre and his Uncle Fran
