The Colossus of New York is a 1958 science fiction film from Paramount Pictures, produced by William Alland, directed by Eugène Lourié, that stars Ross Martin, Otto Kruger, John Baragrey, Mala Powers, Robert Hutton, and Charles Herbert. The screenplay was written by Thelma Schnee, the maiden name of Thelma Moss, who later became a famous parapsychologist. The film's storyline is credited to Willis Goldbeck, while John P. Fulton handled the special photographic effects, and Wally Westmore handled the makeup. Paramount Pictures theatrically released Colossus in June 1958 as a double feature with The Space Children.
Following an accident, Jeremy Spensser's brain is transplanted by his scientist father into the huge body of an unattractive, frightening cyborg, to save his brilliant son's mind so that it can continue to serve mankind. Soon, his son's brain becomes transformed by the experimental procedure, losing key attributes that make him human and define his personality.

00:02:10Fantastic.
00:02:13Fantastic.
00:02:16If you create any more like this,
00:02:17you put the human race out of business.
00:02:20Don't be so magnanimous, Jerry.
00:02:22You know that heat-sensing detector was your idea.
00:02:24Oh, now, stop tearing yourself down.
00:02:28I was saying it was your idea.
00:02:30And as you can see, it's the key to the whole...
00:02:32May I?
00:02:33Congratulations, darling.
00:02:35Hey, Mom, turn off that light.
00:02:37Not now, Billy.
00:02:38This is much too important.
00:02:40Your father has just become a famous man.
00:02:43What do you mean?
00:02:44♪♪
00:02:48International Peace Prize awarded to Jeremy Spencer.
00:02:53Dr. Jeremy Spencer, 34,
00:02:56son of the distinguished brain surgeon and anatomist,
00:02:59today received one of the world's greatest honors
00:03:01for his contributions toward world peace.
00:03:03Daddy, I want to see the movie.
00:03:05Oh, yeah, sure.
00:03:08Come on, I'll show you how to reverse the machine.
00:03:11As head of the World Food Organization,
00:03:13Mr. Spencer's work with frost-resisting plants
00:03:15promises to create,
00:03:17out of frozen polar regions of the globe,
00:03:19a new breadbasket for the world.
00:03:22Spencer, remarkable for his versatility
00:03:24in this age of specialization,
00:03:26has contributed significantly toward flood control,
00:03:29toward the isolation of element 106,
00:03:31and with his brother Henry,
00:03:33achieved a significant new development in automation.
00:03:36This is all sort of, uh,
00:03:38premature, isn't it?
00:03:41I mean, an award for peace
00:03:44would be still so very far away.
00:03:48Will it ever come any closer?
00:03:50Oh, yes, yes, I think it can.
00:03:52If the people of the world get enough to eat,
00:03:54war might just become obsolete.
00:03:57And that's what you're going to work towards,
00:03:59as soon as we come back from Stockholm.
00:04:02Stockholm?
00:04:04Oh, now, honey, do we have... do we really have to go?
00:04:06I have already wired your acceptance.
00:04:09You know, she always...
00:04:11Dad!
00:04:13I want to see the machine that works like a man.
00:04:15Oh, yeah.
00:04:22Attention, flight number 37,
00:04:25now arriving from Stockholm and London.
00:04:29Landing on the west landing strip.
00:04:32Passengers should clear customs within the hour.
00:04:37I repeat, flight number 37,
00:04:40now arriving from Stockholm and London.
00:04:44Passengers should clear customs within the hour.
00:04:53Dr. Spencer, you must be very proud of your son's achievements.
00:04:56I am, I am.
00:04:58Of course, his present achievements are nothing to his future.
00:05:00Don't you agree, John?
00:05:02Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:05:04This is Professor Carrington.
00:05:06He's Jeremy's oldest and dearest friend.
00:05:08Well, I believe he's one of the few authentic geniuses in this country.
00:05:11Don't you agree, Henry?
00:05:13Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:05:15This is Professor Carrington.
00:05:17He's Jeremy's oldest and dearest friend.
00:05:19Well, I believe he's one of the few authentic geniuses in this country.
00:05:21Don't you agree, Henry?
00:05:23That's what I've always been told.
00:05:25Of course you know Jeremy's brother, Henry.
00:05:27A brilliant man, too, in electronics.
00:05:29Dr. Spencer, I understand you're one of our foremost brain surgeons.
00:05:33Tell me, does the brain of a genius look any different
00:05:35from the common garden-variety-type brain, say, such as mine?
00:05:38Afraid not.
00:05:40You mean to tell me there's no difference in size or shape?
00:05:43No, none that we've been able to ascertain.
00:05:46Of course, the question of genius has fascinated scientists for centuries,
00:05:50but many genius brains have been minutely examined,
00:05:53and as far as appearances are concerned,
00:05:56they're physically identical with any other brain.
00:05:59Of course, there are variations, mind you,
00:06:01to the use of which genius is put.
00:06:03How do you mean, Doctor?
00:06:05Well, for example, you take men like Machiavelli and like Napoleon.
00:06:09Now, they used their genius for purely selfish purposes.
00:06:13They used them to promote their own needs and their own desires.
00:06:17And I'm very sorry to say that most people are in that first, primitive level.
00:06:22Then, of course, there's the second level,
00:06:24and that is the people who work to satisfy the needs
00:06:27of their own families and their community.
00:06:30And then the third and highest level,
00:06:33where they work to satisfy the needs of all humanity.
00:06:36And I must say that my son Jeremy is in that third class,
00:06:39if you'll forgive a doting father.
00:06:43Dr. Spencer!
00:06:45Grandpa!
00:06:50Hi, how are you?
00:07:12Get my plane!
00:07:14Well, the wind's got his plane. I'll get it, Billy.
00:07:44Call an ambulance.
00:07:46I'm afraid it's too late, sir.
00:07:48I said call an ambulance!
00:07:50The ambulance is on the way, sir.
00:08:14No!
00:08:45I don't understand.
00:08:48Neither do I.
00:09:15Dr. Spencer, I...
00:09:17I need no one.
00:09:30He was dead within five seconds.
00:09:33Then what's all this about an operation?
00:09:36What can he do?
00:09:38I have no idea.
00:09:44I don't know.
00:10:15John.
00:10:18It's been so long.
00:10:20Don't you think that maybe...
00:10:22Danni, please, no. Don't hope for anything.
00:10:27I'm sorry.
00:10:29I'm sorry.
00:10:31I'm sorry.
00:10:33I'm sorry.
00:10:35I'm sorry.
00:10:37I'm sorry.
00:10:39I'm sorry.
00:10:41I'm sorry.
00:10:43I'm sorry.
00:10:52I did...
00:10:54I did all I could.
00:11:08A great man.
00:11:10A great scientist.
00:11:12One of those geniuses who enlarged the horizons of human knowledge.
00:11:18A man still young.
00:11:20His greatest work still before him.
00:11:24We are tempted to think that his was a tragically foolish and wasteful death.
00:11:31This freakish accident seemingly so meaningless.
00:11:35And yet we must believe that in his infinite wisdom...
00:11:40there is a profound meaning in the loss of...
00:11:43No!
00:11:45No!
00:12:11You can find a profound meaning out of such a shocking and stupid accident.
00:12:16Look, the brain of a genius has been obliterated...
00:12:19because of one fragile bone in the fabric of his body.
00:12:22You can find a meaning to that.
00:12:24Doctor, there must be some...
00:12:26I'll give you a meaning and I'll give you an ugly one.
00:12:29In these desperate times of world crisis, we have been deprived of true genius.
00:12:33I agree, but always in critical times, nature seems to provide us with several men of genius.
00:12:38Doctor, what errant drivel.
00:12:39Look, don't you realize that Jeremy's brain was unique?
00:12:42That it was like Darwin's, like Michelangelo, like Da Vinci, like Einstein.
00:12:47Now suppose all those great brains had been allowed to continue their work...
00:12:52unhampered by their bodies.
00:12:55Think of the advance in civilization that would be.
00:12:57No, no.
00:12:59No, I believe that every man, and that includes every great man...
00:13:01is the product of his mind and body.
00:13:04It's through the divine spark of the creator...
00:13:06that the interconnection of body and mind is achieved through the soul.
00:13:11Oh, now, don't speak to me of antiquated notions like a soul.
00:13:15I mean, you're a scientist.
00:13:17Can you measure a soul? Can you measure it? Huh?
00:13:19As a scientist, I believe that any brain...
00:13:22unable to feel hunger and cold, pleasure and pain, love and hate...
00:13:26any brain, divorced from human experience...
00:13:29must become, well, dehumanized to the point of...
00:13:33of monstrousness.
00:13:35You are an idiot, an idiot.
00:13:38I tell you that in the brain, and in the brain alone...
00:13:42lies the glory of man, the ability to think, to create...
00:13:45and these... well, these go on eternally.
00:13:48I tell you that the brain is supreme, it is immortal, and I can prove...
00:13:52Spencer, please, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:13:54This is merely a theoretic discussion.
00:14:01Yeah, quite.
00:14:05Quite theoretical.
00:14:11He's taking it very badly, isn't he?
00:14:13I'm worried about him.
00:14:15He's going to need you, Henry.
00:14:17That'll be something new.
00:14:19He's always needed Jeremy before.
00:14:21Preferred Jeremy, loved...
00:14:23Well, that's all in the past. Right now, your father needs you.
00:14:26Do you think that you might be able to stay on here with him for a while?
00:14:30I don't see why not.
00:14:45Wonderful girl, Anne.
00:14:47She's going to have a bad time of it, too.
00:14:50I'll do my best to help her, too.
00:14:55Morning.
00:14:57Morning.
00:14:59Morning, Jerry.
00:15:02Uncle Butch.
00:15:06Billy?
00:15:08Billy, I've got something for you.
00:15:14Billy, you should answer when you're spoken to.
00:15:22Billy, want to look in my pockets and see what I've found for you?
00:15:27Oh, you're pretty cold.
00:15:29Oh, that's even colder.
00:15:31Now you're warm.
00:15:33There.
00:15:35Caught it.
00:15:37Thank you, Uncle Henry. Very nice.
00:15:39Want me to show you how it works?
00:15:41Not tonight.
00:15:43It's time for bed, darling.
00:15:45Go on.
00:15:50Don't forget to come up and tell me a story, Mommy.
00:15:53All right.
00:15:56I'm sorry about Billy, Henry.
00:15:59He's been a little bit difficult since...
00:16:01Of course.
00:16:03I wish I could captivate him as easily as he has me.
00:16:06I'm devoted to him, you know.
00:16:08And to you.
00:16:10Your martini.
00:16:12Two olives and an onion, right?
00:16:14Exactly right.
00:16:16To you, Anne. And to...
00:16:18Your father.
00:16:20Your father.
00:16:25I'm worried about him, Henry.
00:16:27He isn't joining us for dinner again.
00:16:30Oh, he's always like this when he starts a new project.
00:16:33I don't like it.
00:16:35He's isolated himself in that laboratory.
00:16:37Sixteen hours a day, more sometimes.
00:16:40Good therapy for him.
00:16:42But what is he doing there?
00:16:44He's forbidden me to go anywhere near the laboratory.
00:16:47Why? Is it dangerous work?
00:16:50He hasn't confided in me either.
00:16:52I wish you could persuade him to get away for a while.
00:16:55I can't even persuade you to do that.
00:16:58Anne, do you realize you haven't been out of this house in over four months?
00:17:02That's unhealthy, too.
00:17:04Please, Henry.
00:17:06Let's drive into New York tonight.
00:17:08Have dinner, go to the theater.
00:17:10You really should, you know.
00:17:12If you like.
00:17:14I do.
00:17:16Come.
00:17:18Let's go before you change your mind.
00:17:20Henry.
00:17:22Yes, Father?
00:17:24Would you come with me, please?
00:17:27We'll have another evening soon.
00:17:41What is it, Father?
00:17:43You'll soon see.
00:17:46There.
00:18:17I don't understand.
00:18:19You know what that is?
00:18:22A human brain.
00:18:24Brilliant.
00:18:26And this?
00:18:28An electroencephalograph.
00:18:30And what does such a machine do?
00:18:32It's a computer.
00:18:34A computer?
00:18:36Yes, a computer.
00:18:38And what does it do?
00:18:40It's a computer.
00:18:42A computer?
00:18:44And what does such a machine do?
00:18:47It records the electrical wavelengths of the brain.
00:18:50Brilliant.
00:19:02What do you see?
00:19:10Delta wavelengths.
00:19:12The rhythm of a sleeping brain.
00:19:15You infer, then, that the brain is asleep?
00:19:19Yes.
00:19:21And if the brain is asleep,
00:19:23would you logically infer that it could awaken?
00:19:26Of course.
00:19:28Good.
00:19:34Attention.
00:19:36Assuming a mason
00:19:39to have a vertical velocity of 54 mps
00:19:43and a horizontal velocity of 24,
00:19:47state the magnitude
00:19:50and the direction of the resultant velocity.
00:19:54Can you give me an answer to that?
00:19:57With a little time.
00:19:59Don't trouble.
00:20:01The answer is 59.166 degrees.
00:20:06Take a look at the graph again.
00:20:17Alpha waves.
00:20:19Exactly. Alpha waves.
00:20:21The rhythm of active thought process.
00:20:36What is reported there?
00:20:3959.1 at 66 degrees.
00:21:06No.
00:21:08No, it's inhuman.
00:21:10Inhuman?
00:21:12It would have been inhuman to deny the world of his genius.
00:21:16Deprive the world of...
00:21:18Dad, Jeremy's dead.
00:21:20He's dead.
00:21:22Jeremy is not dead.
00:21:24Now, you listen to me.
00:21:26When you needed his help, he offered it to you.
00:21:29He offered it to you.
00:21:31Now, you listen to me.
00:21:33When you needed his help, he offered it to you.
00:21:36Now we need your help.
00:21:39My help?
00:21:41To bring Jeremy out of the darkness.
00:21:44With your knowledge of automation,
00:21:46you can help him to live again.
00:22:01The brain of a genius.
00:22:03Operated by a push button.
00:22:06Now you listen to me.
00:22:09When you needed his help, he offered it to you.
00:22:13Now we need your help.
00:22:16To bring Jeremy out of the darkness.
00:22:20With your knowledge of automation,
00:22:23you can help him to live again.
00:22:26Now we need your help.
00:22:29You haven't seen any of this, have you, Anne?
00:22:53What?
00:22:55The night, the moon, the garden.
00:22:59I'm sorry.
00:23:01It's still too soon, isn't it?
00:23:04It isn't easy, John.
00:23:06I know.
00:23:11This hasn't been a very gala farewell party for you, has it?
00:23:15Well, I've had a marvelous time with my hostess,
00:23:17but what the devil happened to my host?
00:23:21They're both of them working on something very mysterious.
00:23:24Top secret.
00:23:26You make it sound like cloak and dagger stuff.
00:23:29I really believe it is, John.
00:23:32They've isolated themselves in that laboratory day after day.
00:23:37Not much fun for you, is it?
00:23:39I don't mind there.
00:23:41Yes, but I do.
00:23:43You know, as soon as I get back,
00:23:46I'm going to see to it that you're kept busy night and day,
00:23:49whether you like it or not.
00:23:52That's better.
00:23:54Well, shall we go look for them
00:23:56and see if we can get them out of that laboratory
00:23:58at least long enough to say goodbye to you?
00:24:00Come on.
00:24:19PHONE RINGS
00:24:32Yes?
00:24:34Oh, hello, Anne.
00:24:36I know, dear, and I'm sorry.
00:24:38Will you hurry?
00:24:45No, I'm afraid that's impossible now.
00:24:47But please tell Tarrington...
00:24:49Anne, dear, please don't be angry.
00:24:51Well?
00:24:53Ready?
00:24:56Ready.
00:25:18You have to push the lever to the left.
00:25:20I placed the control where he can't possibly reach it.
00:25:23I've done it before.
00:25:25So he won't be able to destroy himself.
00:25:27Why should he?
00:25:29Why shouldn't he?
00:25:31Why shouldn't he?
00:26:02Jeremy, you can see.
00:26:05Jeremy, you understand, you're all right.
00:26:08You can see.
00:26:11You can hear.
00:26:13And you can move.
00:26:16You understand?
00:26:18You've been ill.
00:26:20You've been very ill.
00:26:23You're going to be well again.
00:26:25Jeremy.
00:26:27Jeremy.
00:26:29Jeremy.
00:26:31You understand, you're all right.
00:26:33You can hear.
00:26:35And you can move.
00:26:37You can see.
00:26:40You can hear.
00:26:42And you can move.
00:26:46You understand?
00:26:51Answer me.
00:26:53Answer me.
00:27:18Yes, Jeremy.
00:27:20You can see me.
00:27:23I can't move.
00:27:26I can't move.
00:27:30You can move.
00:27:33You hear?
00:27:35You can walk.
00:27:37Walk, Jeremy, now.
00:27:40You can, Jeremy.
00:27:42You can walk right now.
00:27:54Now.
00:27:56Now.
00:28:22Henry, turn off the control.
00:28:26Turn it off.
00:28:56Turn it off.
00:29:17Ann.
00:29:19Get her away, quickly.
00:29:22Henry.
00:29:26Get her away.
00:29:38What was it? That voice?
00:29:40No, it's all right, Ann. It's all right, darling.
00:29:42But what was it?
00:29:44I'll explain. First, come away.
00:29:47Come, darling.
00:29:51So?
00:29:54That's it.
00:29:56That's all there is to know.
00:29:58Our experiment today turned out to be a complete failure.
00:30:01And when it did, my father lost his temper, violently.
00:30:05But all that shouting, Ann, those terrible sounds...
00:30:08Ann, you know the strain he's been under these past few months.
00:30:11Yes, but... but those cries, those shouts,
00:30:14they weren't like your father at all.
00:30:16They reminded me so much of...
00:30:18of Jeremy's voice.
00:30:23It's my fault you've been so disturbed.
00:30:26Your fault?
00:30:28I've left you alone so much.
00:30:30It's no wonder you've grown morbid,
00:30:32imagining you hear dead voices.
00:30:35But I'm going to change all that now.
00:30:37Now that the experiment's over,
00:30:39I'm going to spend my time looking after you and Billy,
00:30:42as much as you'll let me.
00:30:44I'm going to do it.
00:30:46I'm going to do it.
00:30:48I'm going to do it.
00:30:50I'm going to do it.
00:30:52I'm going to do it.
00:30:54Do you think you can get some sleep now?
00:30:57I'll try.
00:30:59Good.
00:31:02I'd better get back to the laboratory.
00:31:05They probably need me.
00:31:08They?
00:31:10Who's they?
00:31:12What?
00:31:14You said they need you!
00:31:16No, I couldn't have.
00:31:19Well, I'm glad the sedative is responsible for that and not me.
00:31:29Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:33I guess I really will be able to go to sleep.
00:31:36Good.
00:31:37And Ann, I promise you, no more lonely hours,
00:31:40no more unearthly sensations,
00:31:42and no more voices from the dead.
00:31:44That's all behind us now.
00:31:47Good night.
00:32:17Good night.
00:32:29I think even the power ignosis worked.
00:32:32Fortunately, there's been no brain damage.
00:32:36You're not going home with this.
00:32:38Well, of course I am.
00:32:40Father, look here.
00:32:44You recognize these, don't you?
00:32:46Next time that happens, his brain can become permanently deranged.
00:32:49There will be no next time.
00:32:51How can you prevent it?
00:32:53That isn't just an abstract intellect.
00:32:56It's a brain that remembers and feels and suffers.
00:33:00You've seen his suffering already.
00:33:02Do you think for one minute that he can continue to exist
00:33:05when he's been deprived of everything he's ever known or loved?
00:33:08His wife, his child, his home?
00:33:11You've got to think of Ann, too, Father.
00:33:13If she were ever to find out about this...
00:33:16She won't.
00:33:18She believes Jeremy to be dead.
00:33:20She'll continue to believe it.
00:33:23I won't have anything more to do with this.
00:33:25It's wrong.
00:33:27It's cruel, and it's wrong.
00:33:29It certainly would be wrong to prevent Jeremy from continuing his work.
00:33:33He'll never go on with it.
00:33:35He'll be in such torment that he...
00:33:37Jeremy has always lived beyond personal desire.
00:33:41I know that I can persuade him to continue.
00:33:44What if he refuses?
00:33:46If he refuses, will you destroy him?
00:33:49Will you destroy him, Father?
00:33:52Yes.
00:33:54Jeremy, can you hear me?
00:33:57I want to help you.
00:34:02Jeremy, you understand me?
00:34:07You want to help me?
00:34:12Yes.
00:34:14Then destroy me.
00:34:18All right, if that's what you want.
00:34:21But I don't believe you.
00:34:23Destroy me.
00:34:26Jeremy, believe me, I know the depth of your suffering,
00:34:29added by the loss of your family
00:34:31and that you'll never have a personal life again as a man.
00:34:34Think of the suffering throughout the world.
00:34:36Think of the millions of human beings.
00:34:39Jeremy, you and your pain, you can think.
00:34:42Help them.
00:34:44Help them as you did before.
00:34:46Destroy me.
00:34:49That was your life.
00:34:51That was your dedication.
00:34:53Are you going to give it up now when you can do more for the world
00:34:56than any man has ever given?
00:34:59It was you, wasn't it?
00:35:02Stop.
00:35:04Please, stop.
00:35:07Please, stop.
00:35:09Father.
00:35:13Jeremy, you still have a priceless gift to give to the world,
00:35:17assuming, of course, two conditions.
00:35:20Two conditions.
00:35:23The first is time.
00:35:25Time to complete your experiments.
00:35:28Your brother and I have already given you that.
00:35:30The second condition we are powerless to give you.
00:35:33What is that?
00:35:35The will. The will to continue.
00:35:38Now, that you'll have to provide for yourself.
00:35:40I can give you destruction,
00:35:43or you can give us a world of abundance.
00:35:46The choice is yours to make.
00:35:53I'll try, Father.
00:35:59But now I will impose a condition.
00:36:03What is it?
00:36:05I don't want anyone ever to see me.
00:36:09I will conduct all of my experiments in this laboratory
00:36:13with you and Henry
00:36:17and no one else.
00:36:23All right.
00:36:29Well, there's no perceptible change.
00:36:32Use strains 19 and 38.
00:36:3819.
00:36:4338.
00:36:4719.
00:36:5238.
00:36:5538.
00:36:59I'm ready, Jeremy.
00:37:01Jeremy?
00:37:04What is it?
00:37:06I keep seeing.
00:37:08Seeing what?
00:37:10Images.
00:37:12Meaningless images.
00:37:15One of them keeps recurring.
00:37:18Can't seem to erase it.
00:37:20Can you describe the image?
00:37:22A ship.
00:37:24I see.
00:37:26Passenger ship in the fog.
00:37:29Just that. Nothing more.
00:37:31Now I can see its name.
00:37:33S.S. Viking.
00:37:35Ah!
00:37:36What is it?
00:37:37In the fog.
00:37:39Another ship.
00:37:41Crashed.
00:37:43Going to crash.
00:37:44Passengers.
00:37:45Images.
00:37:46A ship.
00:37:47Passengers.
00:37:48Keeps recurring.
00:37:49One of them.
00:37:50In the fog.
00:37:51S.S. Viking.
00:37:52No, no, no.
00:37:53Images.
00:37:58Watch the wrist, Jeremy.
00:38:02Wrist.
00:38:10Well, that's good.
00:38:14What are you working on?
00:38:16See? He's got a beak.
00:38:18That's very clever.
00:38:20Let's see.
00:38:23Henry, hello.
00:38:25Billy, want to see what I brought you tonight?
00:38:27Sure, Uncle Henry.
00:38:33Ah, got it the first try.
00:38:35What's this stuff?
00:38:37That's wonderful stuff, Billy.
00:38:38It's all about Hawaii.
00:38:40Where I'd like to take you and your mother for a vacation.
00:38:42Would you like that?
00:38:44I think so.
00:38:46And with your mom?
00:38:49Well, I don't know.
00:38:52Can you get away?
00:38:54I don't see why not.
00:38:56Henry.
00:38:57Henry.
00:38:58Come in here, quick.
00:39:03Of the disaster at sea,
00:39:05200 miles off the fog-bound Atlantic coast last night.
00:39:09Here, you see the first films of the collision between the S.S. Viking
00:39:14and a South American freighter,
00:39:16as photographed from our own special camera plane this morning.
00:39:23Here is the freighter making for port under her own power,
00:39:27but with her bow badly damaged.
00:39:29And here, the S.S. Viking, listing badly.
00:39:33Well, there's no doubt about it.
00:39:35None.
00:39:39Do you realize the enormous implications of this?
00:39:42Amusing, isn't it?
00:39:44I cannot smell or taste or feel,
00:39:49but it seems I have extrasensory perception.
00:39:54You say that other images have come to you from time to time?
00:39:57Yes.
00:40:02We must investigate this thoroughly.
00:40:04Make a complete report, Henry.
00:40:12What do you find so amusing?
00:40:16Not amusing.
00:40:17Ironic.
00:40:19It occurred to me how ironic it is
00:40:22that your grave should lie just a few hundred yards from here,
00:40:26and yet all this time you continue so brilliantly to exist.
00:40:29Brilliantly?
00:40:31I warn you, Henry.
00:40:35These are powerful.
00:40:38You know how powerful, because you made them.
00:40:41Don't coax me. I warn you, don't.
00:41:00The world's leading experts will convene on October 2nd at the U.N. in New York
00:41:04to examine the growing world food shortage.
00:41:07Professor John Robert Carrington, who will preside, promised to read a posthumous report
00:41:12on the development of polar grains by the great Jeremy Spencer.
00:41:17Huh. Good of John to remember me.
00:41:20Today of all days.
00:41:22Today? September the 18th?
00:41:25Have you forgotten so soon?
00:41:28It's the first anniversary of my death.
00:41:31Jeremy.
00:41:33In fact, I think I shall make a pilgrimage
00:41:37to the grave you so thoughtfully provided for me.
00:41:41We've no time for that.
00:41:43Time? I've a lifetime before me.
00:41:47In fact, many lifetimes.
00:41:52I shall take the time now.
00:41:55I forbid you to do it. You may be seen.
00:42:03I forbid you to do it.
00:42:33Billy, stay close now. Don't go too far, dear.
00:43:02Don't go too far, dear.
00:43:26Billy.
00:43:28Billy, come here.
00:43:35It's all right, Billy.
00:43:42Don't be afraid.
00:43:47I won't hurt you, I promise.
00:43:55I won't hurt you, I promise.
00:43:59It's all right.
00:44:03Are you a giant? A real giant?
00:44:08Yes, a real giant.
00:44:12Are you a good giant or a bad giant?
00:44:16Well, I try to be good, but it isn't easy.
00:44:22Are you a good boy or a bad boy?
00:44:26I'm like you, I guess. I mean, I try to be good, I mean.
00:44:33What do you giants do?
00:44:53Well, sometimes we like to give boys presents when they're good.
00:45:00Presents?
00:45:03Billy?
00:45:06Billy?
00:45:09Billy?
00:45:11Billy?
00:45:16Billy?
00:45:19Billy?
00:45:22Oh, darling. Darling, are you all right?
00:45:24Sure I'm all right, Ma.
00:45:26Did he hurt you?
00:45:27No, he didn't hurt me.
00:45:30What was it, that monstrous thing?
00:45:33It wasn't a monster, Ma. It was a giant.
00:45:36What?
00:45:37A real, live giant. And he was so nice, Mom.
00:45:41Honest. He was the nicest giant you could ever find.
00:45:45The nicest.
00:45:52You lied. You lied to me.
00:45:57You knew they were alive.
00:45:59But you deliberately and maliciously tried to keep my wife and son from me.
00:46:05No, no, Jeremy. I only wanted to...
00:46:08Shall I tell you what you've given me?
00:46:11Shall I show you?
00:46:13This, father.
00:46:15You've given me this body.
00:46:19This flesh that cannot feel.
00:46:22Cannot feel.
00:46:24No!
00:46:48No!
00:47:18No!
00:47:48Ann?
00:48:07Oh.
00:48:08Ann, I frightened you.
00:48:10I'm sorry.
00:48:11I saw you from my window.
00:48:13You looked so small, so lonely.
00:48:17I haven't been able to get over that terrible...
00:48:21What was it, Henry?
00:48:23What was that monstrous thing?
00:48:26Ann, I don't want to speak about it.
00:48:29But believe me, I know we have to leave.
00:48:31We have to get away from this nightmare.
00:48:33No. I've got to know what it was.
00:48:35Believe me, we've got to get away as soon as possible.
00:48:37Tomorrow. You promised to go to Hawaii with me.
00:48:39No, I never promised.
00:48:40Darling, we're together in this.
00:48:41I need you. And you need me.
00:48:43Even if you don't know it now.
00:48:45No, Henry, please.
00:49:15No.
00:49:45No.
00:50:15Come in.
00:50:28Ann, I came as quickly as I could.
00:50:30What is it, Ann?
00:50:32It's all right. It's all right now that you're here.
00:50:35It was terrible. I didn't know what to do.
00:50:38It was so terrible.
00:50:40I'm so glad you're back.
00:50:42You will help me, won't you?
00:50:44In whatever way I can.
00:50:46Now, you tell me exactly what did happen last night.
00:50:50But I did tell you on the telephone.
00:50:52I know it sounds fantastic, but it's true.
00:50:55I don't know what it was.
00:50:57Huge, monstrous, eyes blazing, really blazing with light.
00:51:01Ann, what do you mean? Was it a man?
00:51:04No. No, it wasn't human.
00:51:06Whatever it was, it wasn't human.
00:51:13You don't believe me, do you?
00:51:16Ann, I wish that...
00:51:18Well, I really wish you'd let Dr. Spencer visit you.
00:51:21No. No, I won't see him.
00:51:23He's responsible in that laboratory.
00:51:25All those shouts, I won't see him. I won't see him.
00:51:27All right, all right, just as you like.
00:51:29Nobody believes me.
00:51:38Ann, you know that I'd do anything in this world to help you.
00:51:42But you don't believe me.
00:51:45Say good-bye, John.
00:51:47Ann, dear.
00:51:48Say good-bye.
00:52:04Yeah?
00:52:07She's absolutely convinced that she saw someone.
00:52:10But her description is...
00:52:12But that's hallucination, pure and simple.
00:52:14Did you speak about Henry?
00:52:16Only that he ran away.
00:52:23Very nice of you to come, John.
00:52:25I'd like to help.
00:52:27Do you think maybe if I stayed on for a few days...
00:52:29No, no, no, we've put you in enough trouble already.
00:52:32You sure Ann will be all right?
00:52:33Yes, quite.
00:52:35I'll let you know if there's any news of Henry.
00:52:37Nice of you to come.
00:53:07Will you have dinner in the dining room, sir?
00:53:13No, no dinner.
00:53:16Yes, sir.
00:53:29Hello?
00:53:43Spencer here.
00:53:44Father.
00:53:45Listen carefully.
00:53:47I must get away.
00:53:48I need money, Father.
00:53:50Get away? I don't understand.
00:53:52What else can I do?
00:53:53He knows I'm in love with Ann.
00:53:55He'll find me if I don't get away.
00:53:57He'll find me and kill me.
00:53:59How can he find you?
00:54:00Don't you understand?
00:54:01He can see me.
00:54:03Wherever I am, he can see me.
00:54:05Yes, I can.
00:54:12Right now, Henry is in the telephone booth
00:54:15on the corner of Broadway and 49th Street.
00:54:19Tell him you will send him the necessary money.
00:54:22No.
00:54:24Henry is to be at 35th Street and the East River
00:54:27at 11.30 tonight.
00:54:29Tell him.
00:54:30Can you hear me, Father?
00:54:32I must have the money tonight.
00:54:38As I say, you will send him the money by messenger.
00:54:44Henry, I will send you the money by messenger.
