The Day of the Triffids (1963) - Newspaper Ad

San Francisco Examiner - June 18, 1963
I never really understood just how bungled this film adaptation was until I had the pleasure of reading John Wyndham's source novel. The difference between the two is akin to that between night and day.

That sad fact acknowledged, this 1963 movie does have some stilted b-movie charm to it, if taken on its own terms.
