Has anyone seen "Day of the Triffids" made in 1962 staring Howard Keel, Nicole Maurey and Janette Scott, it's a great film about a shower of meteorites that produces a glow that blinds anyone that looks at it. As it was such a beautiful sight, most people were watching, and as a consequence, 99% of the population go blind. This chaos results in the escape of some Triffids: experimental plants that are capable of moving themselves around and attacking people.
It was remade in 1981 and had John Duttine and Emma Relph staring in it.

I have seen this. I thought it was a bit of a let down. The book is quite good and it was a shame that they couldn't quite bring it to life.
Howard Keel is better in his usual musicals than this - it was quite a departure for him.
