The Abominable Snowman opens in the U.K. in 1957. The Hammer film by longtime Hammer director Val Guest stars Peter Cushing and Forest Tucker and is based on a BBC TV play about a Yeti expedition. A critical darling, but box office failure on its release, the film has a following and remains a staple of cable TV.
