Three things you things you probably didn't know about "Them!" -
1) It did not premiere in Sweden until March 19th 1970, sixteen years after its original release. 2) The Swedish premiere was not in any major city, but in the small town of Trollhättan. 3) The Swedish title at the premiere was "Spindlarna" which means..."The Spiders".
I wish there was a book along the lines of "Questionable Titles for Foreign Movies". Since every country have their own examples there should plenty of choice examples. For instance, one of Bergman's early movies was released in the U.S. as "Monika, the Story of a Bad Girl". I guess quite a few punters were disappointed.

If the "researchers" work for the SyFy Channel I think we havce the answer.
Otherwise, send for Edmund Gwenn and James Arness.

You're right. I didn't know any of that. Interesting title, too.

That sounds like the title of an Orrie Hitt novel.
