EarthStoodStill |
The Day the Earth Stood Still (new video) By Robert Wise (director)
starring Michael Rennie.
1951, Fox, 92min.
One of the first attempts at a "serious" E.T. film.
See promotional poster.
"The Most Influential Sci-Fi Film of the 1950s
Producer Julian Blaustein brought together three Oscar-winning talents to
work on his "serious" science fiction film:
director Robert Wise,
writer Edmund H. North,
and composer Bernard Herrmann.
It was fears that the outbreak of the Korean War would cause the script, with its
message of world peace, to be shelved, but Darryl Zanuck personally
pushed it forward and a classic was born.
"A spaceship lands in Washington, D.C., capturing the attention of the
world.
But the alien emissary (Michael Rennie) it brings refuses to reveal
his mission to any single government, leaving the military, the
politicians, and millions of ordinary people to wait in fear. Soon
their distrust turns to calls for violence.
But one young woman and her son (Patricia Neal, Billy Gray) befriend
him... realizing they may be all that stands between the human
race and total destruction."

| WhenWorldsCollide |
When Worlds Collide (new video) by George Pal (director).
1951, Paramount, 81min.
"Today's science fiction extravaganzas all pay tribute to this pioneering classic from
producer George Pal, which won an oscar for its spectacular effects...
AAn impending collision with a runaway star signals the destruction of Earth.
The government refuses to listen to scientists, but private industrialists finance
the building of a space ship, which will carry a limited number of people to another
planet to begin a new civilization. As doomsday approaches, they race against time
and the panic of those who will be left behind. The potential pulverizing impact
of the collision, the massive tidal waves and devastating earthquakes, and the final
cosmic smashup make a chilling panorama of disaster. The balance between human and
planetary drama is excellently maintained as the movie builds to its fascinating,
unforgettable climax."
