Thing From Another World (1951) Sci-Fi Marathon

Thing From Another World (1951) - What a good story, not as good as the John Carpenter remake "The Thing" but still this is a great story about a group of airmen and scientist on the North Pole who find a spaceship and then an alien in the ice after a meteor (ship) crashes into the ice. When the alien who is brought back in a block of ice is accidentally thawed, it soon becomes a struggle for survival.
What I liked: The story works very well with a very good struggle for the characters who have to not only battle the alien but the elements of the North Pole.
What didn't work: The acting is eh, and the female character is written poorly.
