Invasion U.S.A.

Screening on Film
Directed by Alfred E. Green.
With Gerald Mohr, Peggie Castle, Dan O'Herlihy.
US, 1952, 35mm, black & white, 73 min.

A night out at an upscale New York City lounge is disrupted by the arrival of a strange visitor (O’Herlihy) who drinks brandy from an over-sized snifter and questions the patrons about their thoughts on U.S. international policy. As the group champions anti-Communist ideology, news arrives that an unnamed enemy is attacking the West Coast. Shot in seven days on a shoestring budget, this classic Red Scare film relies on stock footage and a somewhat out-ofplace love story to tell its fascinating, cautionary tale.
