So from there on I made all their science fiction films, and the more — Jack Arnold (director)

"So from there on I made all their science fiction films, and the more I did of these films the more I liked it because the studio left me alone. No one at that time was an expert at making sf films so I claimed to be one. I wasnt, of course, but the studio didnt know that so they never argued with me, no matter what I did. In most of my sf films I tried to create an atmosphere because I think if you shoot an imaginative film--a film in which you ask an audience to believe things that are bizarre--you have to make them believe it. You cant do this with the story or actors alone, you have to create a kind of atmosphere while shooting it in which the audiences credibility will be suspended to the point where they dont say to themselves: "Thats impossible!"
