| Summary |
"One of the most memorable of the giant monster films of the '50s, this sci-fi classic concerns a shapeless, flesh dissolving mass that emerges from a fallen meteor and grows larger with each victim it absorbs. At fist scoffed at the police, teenage hero Steve Andrews ('Steven' McQueen, in his first lead role) and his girlfriend, Jane Martin (Aneta Corseaut from the Andy Griffith Show), enlist their drag-racing buddies to alert the town to the danger, before being trapped in a diner that is completely enveloped by the Blob in the film's spectacular climax."--Container. |
