They Came From Beyond Space, a 1967 Body Snatchers knockoff lacks depth, tension or decent baddies (this being British, the aliens’ targets include civil servants and bankers).

Cinematographer turned- director Freddie Francis conjures up groovy compositions to compensate for the paucity of storytelling.

Sadly, any hope of a Summer Of Love B-movie is squandered by wooden, middle-aged American star Robert Hutton, the definition of square.
