Good film , except I believe the star of the original Thing , got robbed of a meaty role , instead they killed him off in less then 15 minutes into the film, Kenneth Tobey the original smoker in every film he starred in , started in this film to have three cases , must have been short of feds for 1955. Instead gets blown away in an alley , the girl gets put in a trash can , makes you think who the killer is , but at the end of the film , seems all is fair except Kenneth's sons don't have a dad no more. A young Martha Hyer had a good part , you get to see her travelling in a old street car back in 55" all over Los Angeles and Glendale.
