The Fly (1958) - Remake Schmemake

What this episode covers

Yes, it's campy, but we love (Charles loves) The Fly! Vincent Price has only a supporting role but lends his--ahem--"highly cultured" presence to the proceedings, and this film actually vaulted his career. A strawberry blonde actress is given awkward-scene-after-awkward-scene to play, but acquits herself, if not admirably, at least memorably. Special kudos go to Emma the maid, who has all sorts of indignities to suffer, including cleaning a guinea pig's cage every minute! And the "Heeeeelllllp meeeeeee!!" scene is not to be forgotten. We give you all the buzz on this horror classic. Remake Schmemake theme music by JuliusH from Pixabay.
