After World War Two American cinema developed a schizophrenic relationship with the idea of the everyday person being replaced by its doppelganger, mainly through the use of Science Fiction and in films that showed an alien invasion, the replicas at the time being a perfect, is sensualised, analogy for the Communist threat; that we didn’t truly know who was one of them, and who was one of Us.

The art of adaption may lay in the prospect of change, of finding another way to describe the heart being fulfilled and the mind being able to reflect on the need for stimulation; occasionally this approach works in cinema, sometimes it fails and bombs, the memory of what came before holding a tight rein on the audience’s appreciation.
