A far from youthful-looking 28-year-old Steve McQueen has his date with "Janie Girl" interrupted by an old guy who's attacked by the title character.  The best thing here is the title song, but the movie is a decent time capsule of the late '50s, at least of late '50s movies, although I didn't need more than a quarter-hour of it.  (And technically, I did use to own this movie, taped off cable onto videocassette but lost at some point in the last 25 years.  For a review of the '72 "sequel, click here: https://reviewingeverymovieiown.blogspot.com/2014/06/son-of-blob.html.)

Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr., and Russell S. Doughten, Jr., are both listed as directors at IMDB.
