Summary: A doctor and a nurse (Beverly Garland) encounter an alien (Paul Birch) who wants to secure human blood in order to save his dying race. \"Not of This Earth\" is an independently made 1957 American black-and-white science fiction film produced and directed by Roger Corman (for his Los Altos Productions), that stars Paul Birch, Beverly Garland, Morgan Jones, William Roerick, and Anna Lee Carroll. The film was written by Charles B. Griffith and Mark Hanna and was distributed by Allied Artists Pictures Corporation as a double feature with \"Attack of the Crab Monsters\".
Production Trivia: (from Wikipedia) Charles B. Griffith said that after he and Corman had collaborated on the film \"Gunslinger\", he suggested they make a science fiction film and Corman agreed; \"Not of This Earth\" was the result. He also said he originally wrote the part of the cleaning brush salesman for himself, played in the film by Corman regular, Dick Miller. Dick Miller ad-libbed all his dialogue and came up with the idea to make the character a vacuum cleaner salesman. Paul Birch complained bitterly about having to wear the white contact lenses for so many hours during filming. Corman wanted him ready to roll on a moment\'s notice, so he asked him to leave the contact lenses in his eyes all day long, which caused Birch extreme discomfort. Birch and Corman wound up getting into a shoving match on the set, and Birch walked out on the production before it was finished. Corman used a double (wearing Birch\'s dark glasses and slouch hat) to finish the few scenes Birch had not completed. One of the bums is played by Hank Mann, one of the original \"Keystone Kops\". At the time he made this, his career had spanned about 45 years and many shorts and features. According to critic historian Tim Dirks, of \"Filmsite\", the film was one of a wave of \"cheap teen movies\" released for the drive-in market during this time period. They consisted of \"exploitative, cheap fare created especially for teens in a newly-established teenage drive-in venue genre\". Geoff Andrew in his \"Time Out\" review said \"Low budgets give little reason for regret when the often tacky effects are surrounded by so much imagination, good humour, and sheer joy in film-making as here. \'Not of This Earth\' is a minor sci-fi gem...\" For the television release in 1963, to make the movie longer, a prologue was written by director Herbert L. Strock and added to the beginning right after the credits. Besides the added prologue, some scenes from the movie were repeated throughout the film to make it appear longer. \"Not of This Earth\" was released in the United States on the bottom half of a double bill with Corman\'s \"Attack of the Crab Monsters\", another sci-fi schlock classic. Charles B. Griffith said that the double bill made a 400% profit in its first week. \"Not of This Earth\" Production Budget was $100,000 and Box Office receipts were $1 million. The film fell into the public domain because the release print did not include the copyright year.\"Thank you for viewing this listing.
