Synopsis:

Intentions:
Inspired by TheScribblingMan's The Thing From 1951, this fan edit aims to show David Cronenberg's The Fly as if it were created in the 50s. As per the Hays Code, all sexual scenes have been greatly reduced, gore and harsh language have been removed entirely. The film has also been formatted to a 4:3 aspect ratio with new title and end cards, new audio effects, and a black and white color grade.
