It's funny to think that the brother of such a celebrated film maker as Billy Wilder made this. Like his brother, W. Lee Wilder made film noir and this background I think helps explain this movie's atmosphere.
shareThe atmosphere is probably the saving grace that made this movie as popular as it was, and perhaps, still is.
The 1951 movie "Unknown World" also had a moody feel that probably accounts for it being popular enough to secure a release on DVD.
The same year, W. Lee Wilder directed the first Yeti movie. 'The Snow Creature.' This could be seen as the first of the Bigfoot monster movies.
