Movies, Movie Posters, and the stars that propelled them into the spotlight.
The Amazing Transparent Man, 1960
A crazed former U.S. Army major Paul Krenner designs an invisibility machine and uses it on an escaped convict who was doing time for safe-cracking to gather more material to improve his device in order to create an army or invisible men! The safe-cracker, however, has other plans. Decent flick, less than an hour long, you can watch it here (archive.org)
Chinatown, 1974
Brave New Jersey
The year is 1938, and the citizens of one small New Jersey town believe the radio broadcast of the War of the Worlds is a real invasion.
