The STRANGER WITHIN

The STRANGER WITHIN
   Made-for-tv film (1974). Lorimar/ABC TV. Dir Lee Philips, starring Barbara Eden, George Grizzard, Joyce Van Patten, David Doyle. Teleplay Richard MATHESON, based on his "Mother by Protest" (1953). 72 mins. Colour.
   A woman (Eden) becomes pregnant - inexplicably, as her husband (Grizzard) is certified to be sterile. It turns out that she has been impregnated by a wandering Martian seed. At first the unpleasant side-effects of the pregnancy drive her to an attempted abortion, but she finally bears a healthy child who, along with a number of other Martian babies, floats off back towards Mars. The film, whose atmosphere of mounting PARANOIA is well achieved, belongs to the sinister-pregnancy movie cycle set off by Rosemary's Baby (1968).
