The Last Man on Earth (1964)
Richard Matheson's novel "I am Legend" has certainly caught the attention of Hollywood!
"The Last Man on Earth" (1964)
"The Omega Man" (1971)
"I Am Legend" (2007)
"I Am Omega" (2007)
I have only seen 3 of the 4 so cannot comment on "I Am Omega" but out of the other three there isn't a bad film among 'em!
Vincent Price is as good as ever in the 1964 offering which I watched last night and I was not surprised to find myself enjoying it as much as the 1971 Chuck Heston film. I found myself more sympathetic towards Price's character than either Heston's angry and belligerent one or Smith's more smug and self assured one. I might, just for the sake of OCD, pick up the straight to video "I am Omega" to round off the character comparison!
