Episode 73: The Fly (1958)

from Be Kind, Please Rewind! Hosted by Joe Gould

Buzz...Buzz... "Help me! Help me!"...Buzz...Buzz... Originally a short story in an inappropriate men's magazine, The Fly (1958) took no time to fly to all-time classic status. A workaholic (and slightly insane) scientist Andre invents the first teleportation machine (take that, Star Trek!). After a mishap with the family cat, he tests the machine on himself. Shockingly, it does not go according to plan! Add Andre's brother (who secretly loves Andre's wife) and the local Canadian Inspector, and you got a mess of a good movie!
