Take a look back at the talented actors and actresses who took home a Golden Globe for Best Actor/Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama since the category was created in 1951.
The survivors of a nuclear holocaust fuse man with machine, creating cyborgs to assist in the rebuilding of civilization. However, when the blue-skinned androids seem to be taking over modern society, the Order of Flesh and Blood will stop at nothing to save the remnants of humanity.
The Creation of the Humanoids is normally dated to 1962, the year of its general release, but one screening in 1961 is documented by an advertising flyer and the film itself displays a 1960 copyright date (MCMLX in Roman numerals), indicating that it was a complete film before the end of that year. Short items in contemporary trade publications indicate that it was being filmed in the summer of 1960 under a working title variously reported as This Time Around or This Time Tomorrow. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences lists August 1960 as the completion date. See more »

Even in the realm of the weird there is nothing else quite like "The
Creation Of The Hummaniods." Sure it's cheap, and it's got Dudley
Manlove(too small a role), but this dense, futuristic drama is miles
from Ed Wood and explored ideas (yes, "Blade Runner") that would be
judged profound coming out of a film with a budget.
The movie has about as many camera set-ups as "Rope"; but
a million times more story. Sure, it has unintentional humor, and
the most interesting thing about it; in the end, is it's an
unintentional exploration of boredom(hence, I think, the tie to Warhol).
It is moralistic, but avoids easy morality. Pax is a victim, but
also a seducer. Those who embrace the wave of robots are are hopeless as
those who attempt to enslave them.
This is a one of a kind film, and should be seen. Ten out of ten.
