	Invasion of the Body Snatchers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The screenplay was adapted by Daniel Mainwaring and Richard Collins (uncredited) from the novel The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney.
		The original version included scenes added to the beginning and end (performed by McCarthy, Whit Bissell, and Richard Deacon) at the behest of the studio that attempted to suggest an optimistic outcome to the story, everything in between being a flashback.
		Daniel Craig has been added to the cast to play the male lead opposite Nicole Kidman.

		Mainwaring did the first draft of the screenplay, which stuck pretty closely to the novel.
		James M. Cain was called in to rewrite Mainwaring's version, and added several plot elements and a happy ending, all of which were discarded.
		Meanwhile, Mainwaring himself, under the Homes pseudonym, he wrote two detective series of interest to visitors to this site: one featuring Robin Bishop, a newspaper reporter, and another featuring milk-drinking private eye Humphrey Campbell.

		Mainwaring (under the name "Geoffrey Homes") had worked with Siegel on The Big Steal (1949) and An Annapolis Story (1955) and they already had an established work routine; first, they would talk out a sequence, then Mainwaring would write it and show it to Siegel, who would then take it to Wanger.
		Siegel and Mainwaring were determined not to make just another special-effects picture.
		At the same time, even though they were in synch with the idea that the world was turning toward a dehumanized pod existence, they wanted to entertain rather than preach.

	Gadfly Online.
		It was Daniel Mainwaring who followed out the pessimistic strain underlying Finney’s paranoid fantasy.
		As Al LaValley writes in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, "Mainwaring’s despair is the despair of a onetime strong leftist over the America of the fifties." Indeed, the House Un-American Activities Committee had decimated Hollywood and the Hollywood Ten had gone to jail.
		However, unlike Mainwaring, Siegel saw the conflict between society and the individual as a perpetual one—more a metaphysical battle than a political one.

		Finney scoffed at the idea that social conformity was its real subject, but there is little doubt he was dealing with the loss of compassion in uncertain times, and the human tendency to escape into utopian solutions, a frequent theme in his work.
		The great writer-director Sam Peckinpah (1925-1984), notoriously difficult to get along with, later claimed that he was the person responsible for the quality of the Invasion script, often telling interviewers that he’d done a complete, uncredited rewrite on location.
		He may have touched up a few scenes during the shoot, and he did win himself a walk-on role as a meter reader in Miles’ basement, but the certain facts are that Daniel Mainwaring finally complained to the Writers Guild, and they told Peckinpah to put a lid on it.

	Out of the Past (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Daniel Mainwaring’s complex screenplay uses narration like the voice of fate over a flashback into Jeff s past, which inescapably determines the present and future.
		In the flashback sequence, the combination of Mitchum’s mesmerizing narration as Jeff waits for Kathie and eventually sees her walking out of the sunlight into the Mexican cafe, the romantic interlude on the beach, and their desperate flight conspires to give the film the perfect noir mood.
		Elsewhere, in the film’s second half, the Mainwaring screenplay seems protracted and overly emphatic of Jeff’s capitulation to his fate and Kathie’s duplicity.

	RARA-AVIS Archives: RARA-AVIS: Geoffrey Homes/Daniel Mainwaring
		A little while ago someone was asking about Homes/Mainwaring, whether he'd written any other novels worth reading aside from the classic BUILD MY GALLOWS HIGH (made into the seminal film noir OUT OF THE PAST with Bob Mitchum).
		Unfortunately I haven't read any of his other books but I thought the following info may be of interest to the person asking: under the name Mainwaring (I forget which one was his real name) he wrote a lot of Hollywood screenplays, including the screenplay to OUT OF THE PAST, which you probably knew.
		Today I just rented a copy of INVASION OF THE BODYSNATCHERS (considered to be an SF/horror/film noir hybrid by many people) and discovered that Mainwaring wrote this screenplay also.

		Talman's role is based upon the real-life exploits of mass murderer William Cook who slaughtered six people in 1950-51 before Mexican police captured him; he was executed in San Quentin's gas chamber on December 12, 1951.
		The story, taken right out of the headlines, was written by Daniel Mainwaring who had written INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS.
		He did not receive credit because of his left-leaning politics during the HUAC witchhunts, and because Howard Hughes, then running RKO, refused to give "radicals" any credit for film work.

	A List Apart: Invasion of the Body Switchers
		It was originally based upon a three-part serial story written by Jack Finney that appeared in Colliers Magazine in late 1954, and then in 1955 was rendered into an expanded novel, The Body Snatchers.
		The screenplay, written by Daniel Mainwaring (who also wrote the script for the classic noir Out of the Past (1947)) was aided, according to some sources, with uncredited scriptwriting and dialogue direction by Sam Peckinpah (the great Western director who appears in a bit cameo part as a meter reader).
		A quintessential, fl and white B-picture, it was precisely-executed and packed with action by director Don Siegel, plus a scary musical score from Carmen Dragon.

		The taking-over of ordinary citizens metaphorically reflected the paranoia in Cold War America of how communism might infiltrate the body politic in such a way that you would have no way of suspecting if your friends and neighbors had been corrupted.
		The screenplay was adapted by Richard Collins (uncredited), Daniel Mainwaring and Sam Peckinpah from the novel The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney.
		The first of two remakes appeared in 1978, starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Jeff Goldblum and Veronica Cartwright.

	The Big Steal . Nashville Scene . 07-28-97
		Robert Mitchum plays a soldier framed for a payroll theft; he enlists the thief's spurned fiancee (Jane Greer) and takes off across Mexico with beefy William Bendix in pursuit.
		Mitchum, Greer, and screenwriter Geoffrey Homes (Daniel Mainwaring) had collaborated on the devastating 1947 noir drama Out of the Past, but this reteaming is more of a caper comedy, filled with single entendres, double crosses, and funny encounters, the best involving a sentimental Mexican road gang.
		Director Don Siegel keeps things moving at breakneck speed, but Mitchum's the whole show: Whether he's slugging Bendix or leering at Greer, he brings credibility and cool to this screwy tale.

		Dr Kevin McCarthy discovers the secret: pod people are colonising the earth, taking human form but dispensing with the soul.
		Shot in just 19 days, Siegel's economical adaptation of a Jack Finney story (script by Daniel Mainwaring of Out of the Past fame) is one of the most resonant sci-fi movies, and one of the simplest.
		It has been interpreted as an allegory against McCarthyism, though it could equally stand as anti-Communist.

	Hollywood Gothique: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) Review
		Screenplay by Daniel Mainwaring, from the novel by Jack Finney
		Without much in the way of production values or visible horror, Siegel manages to wring an enormous amount of suspense out of the script(written by Daniel Mainwaring).
		The one overtly graphic moment occurs when the seed pods are discovered, disgorging their duplicate bodies amidst a gurgle of gooey bubbles; it's mild by modern standards but still effective enough to make you queasy.

		Shot on a customary ‘50s sci-fi flick low-budget, Siegel (who also directed the first Dirty Harry film) still managed to create an intelligent and engrossing masterpiece of the genre.
		Screenwriter Daniel Mainwaring's clever script resounds with an allegorical subtext and satire applicable not only to the paranoia permeating 1950s post-war America, but also to modern efforts of "cultural decontamination" in nations where freedoms of expression are theoretically a virtue to be commended and encouraged.

		Whenever honest citizens tried to rise up against this tide of corruption, they were beaten back down: quite literally.
		An earnest exposé torn from the day's headlines, The Phenix City Story was scripted by Daniel Mainwaring and Crane Wilbur, and opens with a tacked-on ten minutes of a documentary series of interviews with some of the key players who took part in uncovering the crimes.
		The interviewees look awkward on camera, and the reporter, obviously reading from cards, makes you anticipate a dry tone to the rest of the film, but nothing could be further from the truth.
