The Charmings

The Andromeda Strain (1971)

 

Robert Wise one of my favorite directors. I read the book first, many years before I saw the movie. The Book Club edition was on the family bookshelf, and I liked to read thrillers late into the night. The first time I saw the movie was a similar late night experience.  It's long and that adds to the suspense.
