Question 1

Why was Curse of the Fly rarely seen for decades?

Accepted Answer

This film was rarely seen for many years after its 1965 release, and it was the only one of the original 'Fly' films that never received a VHS or LaserDisc release. It did not get a home video premiere until 2007, when it was released on DVD in 'The Fly Collection' box set.

Question 2

Which actor was originally considered to play Henri Delambre?

Accepted Answer

Claude Rains was going to play Henri Delambre at one point in the making of the film.

Question 3

How does Curse of the Fly connect to the earlier Fly films despite lacking a Fly monster?

Accepted Answer

The film has connections through the Delambre surname, a photograph showing the Fly, a new teleporter, and a scene with Inspector Charas (played by a different actor). It was produced cheaply in England and was a box office bomb because audiences wanted to see a man with a fly's head.

Accepted Answer

Charles Carson replaced Herbert Marshall in the role of Inspector Charas in this film.

Question 5

What is the central conflict in Curse of the Fly?
