Christopher Lee in Night of the Big Heat (1967)
While mainland Britain shivers in deepest winter, the northern island of Fara bakes in the nineties. The boys at the Met station have no more idea what is going on than the regulars at the Swan. Only a stand-offish visiting scientist suspects aliens are to blame. Meanwhile the new secretary to the local best-selling author is raising the temperature in her own way.

    • Trivia
      According to Sir Christopher Lee, this movie, dealing with an uncommon heat wave, was shot in the middle of winter. The actors and actresses not only had to be covered with glycerin to create the illusion of heavy sweat, but also suffered from wearing very light clothes in a freezing season.
    • Goofs
      Hanson, a Scientist, observes that The Earth will become a planet like many "others in the Constellation". In fact, a Constellation is a group of stars, not planets.
    • Quotes

      Godfrey Hanson: I have been convinced that this island has become the center of an invasion, the central landing point for beings from another planet.

    Enjoy this classic cheapie!

    Hey guys! Whats the deal here? This film is one of my all time faves! The first time I saw it I loved it straight away. I love the Englishness of it all....the country pub....the warm beer!!!....feel that cheesy dialogue: "You were no untouched virgin when we met" etc.

    Enjoy gawping at the stunning beauty of Jane Merrow in a wet bikini and more! This film is very similar to Fishers Island Of Terror,very much a companion piece. I never get tired of seeing this flick,I view my ancient tape every year. Dont expect a masterpiece and you will not be disappointed . Its corny,cheap but not tatty,with great photography,solid performances and lovely colour....ENJOY!!!
