What The Incredible Shrinking Man Is About
A man who passes through a strange cloud on a boat begins, months later, to shrink. The doctors cannot stop it. The film tells this not as a science fiction puzzle but as a loss of standing: he loses first his position as a husband, then his place in the house, then being counted as a person. The near-silent struggle with a spider in the cellar is its best section. Jack Arnold directed, with Richard Matheson adapting his own novel. The shrinking was achieved with oversized sets and rear projection. Before watching: the closing lines go somewhere openly philosophical. The studio wanted them changed and the writer refused, and that ending is why the film is remembered.
