Actors: Grant Williams, William Schallert, April Kent

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Incredible Shrinking Man


By 1957, Hollywood had long been cashing in on radiation paranoia. One of the most intelligent of these “what-if” films was “The Incredible Shrinking Man,” in which Scott Carey (Grant Williams) drifts through a peculiar waterborne fog and eventually begins to shrink. Despite a plausible doctor's explanation and a possible antidote, his condition fails to reverse. Intolerably frustrated, he temporarily seeks comfort with a circus midget (April Kent).

When we again see him at home, it is shocking how his condition has worsened -- he now resides in a doll's house, badgering his wife for his every need.

Resourcefully living a solitary caveman existence, he improvises a base camp with food, water and a matchbox shelter, superb effects which keep Scott in believable perspective. When he realizes he has competition for the huge bread crumb which has sustained him, he challenges a spider to a fight to the death.
