  Like theseclo budget B movies they are much better than the new films we have today.

  Their pressure suits are exactly like the ones from the 1959 film “12 to the Moon”.  I’m 68 and I think this movie is on a par with our spaceships made of lawn chairs, Christmas lights and cardboard boxes!

  How I love the lighting in these movies, those spotlights creating volume, shape and separation. Love them.

  Oh, my.....I saw this at the Casa Linda Theater in Dallas when it came out. The theater always had lower ticket prices for the Saturday matinee for us kids. The Solarites....what fabulous late-fifties/early sixties space monsters......and the unabashed lift from &quot;The Creature From The Black Lagoon&quot; at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTkOud2MBso&amp;t=4090">1:08:10</a>....fabulous!!

  This was a great version of old school, early sci-fi movies.<br>I kind of enjoyed seeing this with the &quot;old fashioned&quot; ways they had to invent back then. They didn&apos;t have CGI back then, had to use the old grey matter.<br><br>They sure had a nice assembly of gorgeous dames on that space rock.<br>Did you notice all the members of the jury were women?<br>I think they voted guilty because they wanted him to stay, LOL<br><br>I went to imdb to look up more of the characters and I was amazed to see that Delores Faith who played Zetha was not listed on the first page. I had to move down and click on all cast members. She was featured in a video on that site. The trailer was really good!<br><br>Only near the end did I realize that Liara and Zetha were wearing scoop back outfits. They were really low on the back. I&apos;m not sure if they had strapless bras back then that could have sit as low as the waistline but they sure had perky boobies.<br><br>As the movie was ending it occurred to me that &quot;planet&quot; looked like a chicken McNugget. I bet you can&apos;t UNSEE that.

  Saw this on Sir Graves Ghastley&apos;s show around 1976. &nbsp;I thought it was the greatest sci-fi adventure ever. &nbsp;Still love it, so atmospheric. &nbsp;Great music.

  So much better than I expected! Don&apos;t know how I missed it all these years. Colleen Gray is a nice addition to any film (Nightmare Alley) and &quot;Zetha reminded me of a more beautiful Elizabeth Taylor!

  When Sesson gave Chapman the choice of the two women, I would have been tempted to ask if I could have them both.
