The Last Man on Earth

1964
Starring Vincent Price
Cinematography by Franco Delli Colli
Directed by Sidney Salkow, Ubaldo Ragona
The Last Man on Earth is the very definition of a one-man show—Vincent Price stars as a lonesome medico who isn’t lacking for company—it’s just the wrong kind: each night he’s visited by zombie bloodsuckers on the prowl for a midnight snack, victims of a plague that has decimated the planet. An American/Italian co-production directed by Sidney Salkow and Ubaldo Ragona, the 1964 film was based on Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend about the desolate existence of scientist Robert Morgan who, when he’s not engrossed in teary-eyed conversations with the mirror or howling into the void, is working to find a cure for the mysterious virus that’s killed every one of his family and friends.

CineSavant’s hands-down favorite holiday film, this Ernst Lubitsch classic radiates human kindness in all directions. Nobody is perfect: misunderstandings benign and profound are the gentle impetus for a sweet story that will renew one’s belief that people are basically good. It’s James Stewart’s best pre-war performance, as he fits his character so perfectly; as in last month’s The Mortal Storm he and Margaret Sullavan exude decency and ‘niceness’ even when they’re being rude to each other. Frank Morgan tops his Wizard characterization, and the movie is so generous that it lets the nervy little go-getter William Tracy be the hero of the day. I’m glad this wasn’t re-invented as a sitcom, but they sure ran it through the remake hurdles.
