LOLA ALBRIGHT & GRANT WILLIAMS IN 'THE MONOLITH MONSTERS'

| Lola Albright in THE MONOLITH MONSTERS Year: 1957 Rating: **1/2 |
Grant Williams, with an unassumingly skinny frame, All-American blond hair and soft voice, is perfect for science-fiction as he passively allows strange things to happen around him... even when vanishing into thin air for THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, and, here as a small town cop, he's partnered with a old scientist to figure out how giant monoliths are growing out of the earth...
Which eventually look fantastic as they crash into a raging river... but these titular MONOLITH MONSTERS never seem that formidable, and are more dangerous in semi-suspenseful scenes leading up...

Initially/mysteriously killing a townsman before hypnotizing a chaste little girl, who extremely gorgeous ingenue Lola Albright is connected to... waiting nervously to see how things pan out...
Which ends up a forgotten THEM-like plot-point in a mostly dialogue/exposition-driven science-fiction that (despite good acting and grim, ultra-serious narration by Orson Welles store-brand announcer Paul Frees) should have had co-writer Jack Arnold as director.
