The DAY THE WORLD ENDED

The DAY THE WORLD ENDED
   Film (1956). Golden State/ARC. Prod and dir Roger CORMAN, starring Richard Denning, Adele Jergens, Lori Nelson, Touch (Mike) Connors. Screenplay Lou Rusoff. 81 mins, cut to 79 mins. B/w.
   The first sf/horror film to be directed by Corman (although in 1954 he had produced Monster from the Ocean Floor), this was, like most of his 1950s films, shot fast (less than a week) on an amazingly small budget (c$40,000). TDTWE tells of a small group of atomic-war survivors menaced by a MUTANT (created by the radiation) with a bulbous head, three eyes and a taste for human flesh. Corman later improved as a director.
