[Canadian Election]

My riding flipped from Bloc to Liberal & I am semi-relieved, but it will be a minority government that will need Bloc support so very skin-of-the-teeth since almost as many people voted Conservative.
Graphic of popular vote of Canadian election showing Liberals with 42.8%, Conservatives with 41.7%,, Bloc 7.4%, NDP 5.8%, Green 1.1%, PPC .8%.

Powell, who also styled himself as F. Amos Powell, had worked as associate producer on a box office flop, The T-Bird Gang, in 1958 but enjoyed some success in 1962 as co-writer of The Tower of London. In the same year he was production manager for Invasion of the Star Creatures which a reviewer described as ‘Giant Carrot Men and Buxom Babes’. Dennis later claimed to have contributed to this film in some way but it is unclear what that may have been. Certainly it become a favourite of Laurence’s because of its ‘sublime awfulness’. Sandy’s mother, Sarah, also recalled Amos Powell but was surprised that he had any genuine screen credits. She had previously seen him as ‘like Dennis, playing at being a film producer. But he had little of Dennis’s guile or charm’.

Rob Latham, "Subterranean Suburbia: Underneath the Smalltown Myth in the Two Versions of Invaders from Mars."

If we continue the Cold War allegorical reading of the film, the anxiety about suburbia that gets displaced onto the Martians may bespeak an attentiveness to the inhumanly planned quality of the postwar environment. As Kenneth Jackson, author of Crabgrass Frontier: The Suburbanization of the United States, has reported: —recommendations that helped shape national urban policy under Eisenhower. In any case, the film'’s famous framing device of “It’s only David’s dream—or is it?” reinforces a reading of suburbia-as-horror; David represents the first postwar generation to be socialized into suburban life, and the readiness with which his homey environment mutates into nightmare does not suggest tremendous confidence about suburbia as a project in moral education.‘
