4 out of 5 stars Aliens Dad comes calling........2007-05-22

It's a Precursor of Alien without any doubt.Films liked this started my love of 50's Sci-fi.
Even now when I see a modern-day Sci-fi film I still think the Spaceships that don't look like silver V-2's look kind of strange.
And I can hardly suspend my disbelief if the bulkheads aren't connected by massive rivet's.
And all computer panels should have valves, without a single new fangled transistor in sight.(They'll never catch on anyway.)
This may mean I've seen too many 50's Sci-fi films,but they are rather fun! after all.

Brief Summary.
In January 1973 contact has been lost with a rocket expedition to Mars,a second one is launched to find out what's happened.
Only one survivor is found,and his account of what happened to his crew is greeted with extreme suspicion by the recue crew.Then something starts killing off this crew.
Driving the surviving crew members floor by floor up inside their ship.
And in Space no-one can jump out the window and run for it!!
~~~~
The opening scene of the crashed ship and recently landed rescue ship was taken and used in,"The Outer Limits" story "The Invisible Enemy".(1964)
One thing I've always suspected about 1950's poster artist's was, nearly all of them must be misogynist's.
As It's always a scantily clad Woman that has been grabbed by the wicked monsters,and in need of rescue by the brave men.What on Earth is the creature going to do with her anyway?If it's of a romantic nature, mixed species relationships rarely work out.
Opinion.
This is an enjoyable and typical for it's time, romp.
And a wonderful slice of how the 1950's viewed the future,well 1973 anyway.
They could never have predicted Glam-rock!
Manned landings on Mars in 1973 indeed.
Not quite reality is it?

If this film tickled your fancy,why not check out these,they certainly tickled mine.
"Them".1954.(The scene where the little girl is brought round with a sniff of Formic acid,is jump out of your seat stuff.)
"It Came from Outer Space".1953.(With the scrumptious Barbara Rush. And a atypical story for the 50's.)
"The Incredible Shrinking Man".1957.(Intelligent story.They found an amazing way to keep water droplets in scale with the titular character.And the ending was just my cup of Tea.)
