Ken Stanley

Ken Stanley

Ken Stanley was the man in charge of the radar station on Fara Island. After the death of the station's radar operator, Stanley joined forces with Jeff Callum and Dr. Godfrey Hanson to stop the invading heat aliens. While his subordinate Gerald Foster went with Hanson to build bonfires to attract the aliens, Stanley accompanied Callum and Frankie Callum and Angela Roberts to lob dynamite at them from the island's lighthouse. Angela ran away though, forcing Stanley to separate from the Callums and chase after her, whereupon the two sought refuge inside an old building near the lighthouse. He and Angela survived thanks to a sudden thunderstorm, whose rain killed the aliens.

Comments

• Stanley appears to be a combination of two characters from the novel, Gieves and Pearce. Like Gieves, he is the head of the radar station, but like Pearce he survives by hiding with Angela Roberts (the film's version of Patricia Wells).
