the incredible shrinking man (1957)


"I was continuing to shrink, to become... what?"
Whilst at sea Scott Carey's (Grant Williams) boat drifts into a strange mist, that covers his body in a metallic residue. It doesn't enter his head that this is strange until a few weeks later he notices that he seems to be losing weight, and a doctor confirms his is growing shorter, something that the scientists seem powerless to stop and he continues to shrink...
A classic 50's sci-fi, full of pathos, action and well conceived set pieces.
