Sue Lyon is mostly known for Stanley Kubrick’s LOLITA just as CITIZEN KANE brings Orson Welles to mind quicker than any of his other motion pictures, in which he either starred, directed, or both. The reason for either (rather random) example is perfection. One being the girl, the other being the picture itself: the first unhindered by time; the latter uncut by studio heads. So let’s now center primarily on Sue Lyon to describe what the name of this Cult Film Freak Character File extension site means…
LARGE EARTH DISRUPTION is an initially vague warning that means a whole lot in the low, low-budget science-fiction thriller THE END OF THE WORLD starring Sue Lyon along with the man she feared at the drive-in theater (Hammer’s FRANKENSTEIN) as she’s seated beside James Mason in the aforementioned Kubrick classic: Christopher Lee is, as usual, a formidable antagonist but in a more subtle way than usual since he takes form of a very mellow priest, holed up at a rural monastery in what looks like a small desert town also harboring unseen suburbs under the bright 1970’s sun…
It took Lyon’s fictional husband scientist played by Kirk Scott to drive there, together, on a curious whim from a reading on his computer monitor at work: LARGE EARTH DISRUPTION, digital font letters stacked greenish blue upon a black screen led by a pulsating square cursor, which is, basically, the beginning of the world’s end i.e. THE END OF THE WORLD. And there you have it.
