Erik Johnson Illustrator said...: No "Them!" was the one with giant ants. That one was really good, with a great suspenseful atmosphere and palpable anxiety. It was also one of Leonard Nimoy's first roles in addition to the great cast, rounded out with performances by James Arness, Ed Wynn and James Whitmore.

This picture is from "The Beginning of the End" with Peter Graves and was later featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

DrGoat said...: Them was great. James Whitmore, James Arness, Edmond Gwenn (not Ed Wynn, but he would have fit in I think). Love that stuff. The crazy drunk in the hospital is a good scene.; March 16, 2013 at 11:33 AM
