Andy Warhol's Favorite Movie..They Say...



CREATION OF THE HUMANOIDS-1962-After a nuclear war, the human race has dwindled. They've created robots (humanoids) to help out. They are green, bald and have no emotions and are called "clickers" by people who dislike them. Due to the weird looking Dr. Raven (Don Doolittle) some robots are getting more emotional. Another scientist Cragis (Don Megowan) sees the robots as threats to humanity and heads the "Order of Flesh and Blood". His sister is having a "relationship" with a clicker named Pax (David Cross, who was in Bert I. Gordon's THE MAGIC SWORD around the same time). Dudley Manlove (Eros in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE) is one of the lead clickers.

There's not much action in this Technicolor wonder that has bad acting, funny Ed Wood like dialogue and strange Art Deco sets.

COTH was directed by former child actor Wesley Barry who made other movies but was mostly an assistant director on movies and TV shows. Co-writer Jay Simms wrote the screenplay for PANIC IN THE YEAR ZERO the same year.

Thanks for reading!
