The Creation of the Humanoids

The Creation of the Humanoids is a 1962 US science fiction film release, directed by Wesley Barry and starring Don Megowan, Erica Elliot, Frances McCann, Don Doolittle and Dudley Manlove. The film is not based on the plot of Jack Williamsons novel The Humanoids, to which it bears little resemblance, but on an original story and screenplay written by Jay Simms.

The Earth is suffering the aftereffects of a nuclear war that destroyed 92 percent of humanity. Lingering radiation has caused the birth rate to fall below replacement level and the population continues to decline. A robotic labor force maintains a high standard of living for the survivors and the humanoids of the title are an advanced type of robot created to directly serve and otherwise work closely with human beings. These humanoids are built with artificial, ultralogical personalities and they appear human except for their bluegray syntheskin, metallic eyes and lack of hair. The humanoids periodically visit recharging stations they call temples where they also exchange all information acquired since their last visit with a central computer they call the fathermother.A quasiracist human organization named The Order of Flesh and Blood is opposed to the humanoids, which the members disparagingly refer to as clickers. The Order believes the humanoids are planning to take over the world and are a threat to the very survival of the human race. The Order does not stop at illegal violent actions, including bombings. At one meeting, its members are alarmed to learn of the existence of a humanoid which has been made externally indistinguishable from a human and which has killed a man. They demand that all existing humanoids be disassembled or downgraded to a strictly utilitarian machinelike form. ........
