Scared the life out of me at an early age - my Dad could do a great impersonation of the noise those ants made :) Since then the movie, for me anyway, has come to represent 1950s paranoia over the effects of atomic radiation. Fast-moving story with thankfully next to nothing love interest, a good cast, wonderful soundtrack and photography. A movie which I never tire of watching. Interesting to compare the shots in the LA drainage canals with those in 'Grease'. Same locations but the steam locos have long gone. I await a DVD with extras with great interest ...
