Warning: Even a slight spoiler for a really great film is a disaster. >Sequel? Wait a minute, Mark, didn't Quatermass ride the >crane into the "Electric Force" (doo dah doo dah) and die >in "5 Mil..."????? No, that was Matthew Roney (James Donald) who gave his life for London. He was the scientist who was called to the site first. He is thin and has a craggy, clean-shaven face. Bernard Quatermass (Andrew Kier), is heavier set and has a moustache and beard. In the climax Quatermass is going around the construction site to save Barbara Judd (Barbara Shelley) and Roney climbs the crane and rides it into the energy column. QUATERMASS CONCLUSION (based on reading the novel) involves a much older Quatermass in a London that is falling apart. Mark Leeper ...ihnp4!mtgzz!leeper
