Scott, lying in the sun, is sprinkled with glittery particles that quickly evaporate. Later he is accidentally sprayed with an insecticide while driving and, in the next few days, he finds that he has begun to shrink.

Scott Carey and his wife Louise are sunning themselves on their cabin cruiser, the small craft adrift on a calm sea. While his wife is below deck, a low mist passes over him. Scott, lying in the sun, is sprinkled with glittery particles that quickly evaporate. Later he is accidentally sprayed with an insecticide while driving and, in the next few days, he finds that he has begun to shrink. First just a few inches, so that his clothes no longer fit, then a little more. Soon he is only three feet tall, and a national curiosity. At six inches tall he can only live in a doll's house and even that becomes impossible when his cat breaks in. Scott flees to the cellar, his wife thinks he has been eaten by the cat and the door to the cellar is closed, trapping him in the littered room where, menaced by a giant spider, he struggles to survive.
Leave your thoughts about The Incredible Shrinking Man.
| Radio TimesAlan JonesWilliams gives a sensitive portrayal of a man hounded by the media and consigned to a freak's world, whose descent into being and nothingness provides a memorable climax. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherUnless a viewer is addicted to freakish ironies, the unlikely spectacle of Mr. Williams losing an inch of height each |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThe most unpretentious and poignant sci-fi film of them all. |
| VarietyVariety StaffDirector Jack Arnold works up the chills for maximum effect by the time Williams is down to two inches and the family cat takes after him. |

| StarburstJames EvansThe film itself stands alongside other contemporary films as an example of how science fiction can be used to comment on the world it exists in at the same time as being a very entertaining spectacle. |
| Portland OregonianNestor RamosIt's a lot more interesting than its source, thanks to the special effects and Jack Arnold's taut, no-nonsense direction. |
| EmpireIan NathanWhilst paranoid in a very 1950's way and a little downbeat at times this is very enjoyable. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelUnless a viewer is addicted to freakish ironies, the unlikely spectacle of Mr. Williams losing an inch of height each week, while his wife, Randy Stuart, looks on helplessly, will become tiresome before Universal has emptied its lab of science-fiction clichés. |
