(THE FLY, USA 1958) - After her husband Andre Delambre is crushed to death in a mechanical
press, his wife recounts to his brother Francois Delambre and police
Inspector Charas the events of the previous few months. They were very
much in love and with their little boy, a very happy family. Andre was
experimenting with teleportation - transporting objects from one point
to another by breaking the object down to the atomic level and then
reassembling it in a receiver a distance away. The system had some
glitches - it seemed to work with inanimate object but his cat
disappeared when he tried teleporting it. He thinks he's solved all of
the problems with his invention and decides to try and teleport himself.
When a fly enters the teleportation device with him, disaster strikes. One of the things I like more about this classic movie is the presence od David Hedison in the leading role. Hedison is part of my childhood memories because he was Capitain Lee Crane in VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
