You have to give the people who make films like this huge credit for their creativity, with no baseline to work from they produced some amazing effects and insights into the future, not exactly rocket science but something like rocket science. Personally I would rather watch b&w movies from this era and genre than their modern equivalents, the makers of modern movies have so much technology and historical precedent to work from it would be easy for them to not use their imaginations.

Ben Hur was a religious movie.

I wonder why filmmakers back then thought it would interest audiences to watch a bunch of people sitting in front of big machines yelling out random numbers and such into microphones for such long chunks of film. Without the padding, this movie would have been maybe 10 minutes long. Still better than most of what's being made now.

I think it was 1961, and in the newspaper clippings in the beginning JFK is in a header of a story. The Roman numerals read 1961 as well, I think. Perhaps it was filmed in 1958, worked on and released in 1961, the credits would have been last to be finalized.

Fun fact: the English dub voice of John in this film is the late Shane Rimmer, the voice of Scott Tracy in thunderbirds.

Professor John MacLaren is played by Paul Hubschmid. He used the name Paul Christian when he starred in The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms. One hell of a drop in his career from that film to this one.

Great comedy. I felt compelled to watch it all.

Some interesting rocket designs.

Not a bad little European entry in the "menace from space" race, complete with scientist cracking up and seeking to thwart the heroes' efforts, later a genre standard - and an early use of nukes to counter advancing celestial objects. So it's not about to win any top awards, but it's amiable enough fun.

I appreciate the time stamps and chapters

Wow, some real sketchy science in this. I'm used to all the hokey stuff (Animals sensing things, white balls of light in the sky, a rocket causing the whole event) but the thing that baffled me was why they invented the Tunguska crater? The Tunguska event famously has no crater.

The rocket launch scene is reminiscent of the James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice" with the loudspeaker shouting "clear the area". And this movie was made only five years before John Glenn orbited the earth.

How many "My baby" loops were there in the mob scene?

Very Good Movie.

Pretty good oldie here but I took specific issue when they showed the "very instructive photo" of what they said was the Tunguska "crater". I'll just say that the photo was NOT of the "crater" because the exact location, size and if it actually has a crater are in debate. There was indeed a large explosion and all signs point to an air burst. Damn. I just got myself going off on an old movie....

To think the technology needed for a functional Theremin in outer space would have made all the difference. But alas that would only be achieved in the 1960's.

12 mins now. A new record

The U Tube intro says 1958, but the movie introduction is MCMLXI at 0:30. That's 1961.
