A film set in middle America, a man sees strange coming and going of trucks to a warehouse. He manages to break in and in the warehouse are boxes and boxes stacked floor to ceiling wall to wall.In these boxes are dark sunglasses. When worn, he sees the world in black and white and all the advertising boards etc are covered with (I think) communist propaganda slogans and the like. He tries to convince his coloured friend to don the glasses to show him and warn him of the impending dangers. A fantastically realistic fight breaks out between them, excellent acting and very believable.
I saw this film very late one night back in the late 1980's/early 1990's on British TV and fell asleep before the end. I need to see it again and find out what happens. My wife, an extremely good drama teacher should see this movie. Can anyone help?

The one guy is right - it is They Live with Roddy Piper; it is about aliens that disguise themselves with frequencies to be the rich and powerful in an otherwise human slave society; the sunglasses makes one see the subliminal messages; the movie is based on a really short, short story; good movie
