The Quatermass Xperiment

I had apparently watched this years ago, but I had almost no memory of doing so. Most of the film was fresh to me.
This Quatermass is an arrogant ass throughout. It is really odd watching a film where your protagonist isn’t the least bit likable!
Good story and well acted, but it feels abridged. Like a multiparty series was created and then severely chopped to make a single movie
