The 50's sci fi films have an innocence and charm that today's gory films can't touch. Sometimes you don't want things to be realistic and senses bombarded--then its time to escape to the past and crisp black and white images of well dressed men and women and well behaved monsters.

Great 1950's alien from space movie.It drew on the fear of invasion from space ,but also the fear of the atom bomb and possible invasion and war with the Russia.
This is a rather good film, even compared with modern standards. The FX is not embarrassing, the story good and apply to grown up viewers, and the direction professional (dont remember the name of the director, but he was one of the few A-movie sfi-fi directors at this time). And not to forget, it was Ray Bradbury who wrote the script.
Since 1947 and the supposed "saucer crash" report provided quite kindly by the US military for the public to consume there were many films which fed the publics lust and imagination for so called UFOs and aliens from space, this film was a classic, one of the first 3D films, We have a rocket scientist and stock footage of V2 rockets in this film, which actually parallels the 'truth' (so eager are these ufologists) about what actually happened at Roswell, Google - Operation Paperclip, thanks
@247mhm NOT all of them are bad, the creature from the black lagoon was good alot of the movies from the 1920's through the 1990's were good, and to be honost i agree with bwild61 i don't really like any of the new movies except house of 1000 corpses, the devil's rejects, planet of the apes, jurassic park 3, king kong, and star wars episode 3. this is just my opinion not a statement. I do respect your opinion though.
hey only 257 bless yiou fir the ind words. i been getting hate mail from lovers f gore and blood but ill take this film & other vintage horror-sci films of old days anytime.PLAN 9 I love.

wow lots of fun a classic from the 50s great film in its own right. this horror film historian knows. it beats the gore and blood of todays films. Thanks Universal. TMKES
0:37 Aww, isn't that cute. He can't bare the sight of something. Guess they didn't have internet back then. If you have seen what's on the internet, then you have seen everything. Nothing can scare you anymore.
I haven't seen this film for years. Though I remember it was a great movie. Good use of suspense. Interesting too that for much of the film, you don't see the 'creature' - somewhat similar to later films like 'Jaws' or 'Alien' in that it's presence it's there but it doesn't reveal it's self too often.
I remember as a child seeing this movie in 3-D with the polarized glasses, not the red and green ones like they have now. Some of those scenes were absolutely terrifying.
The polarized glasses gave a far more realistic 3-D effect, but it was less comfortable for the eyes.
True, 'photo'- the initial release (as this trailer demonstrated) was in "3-D", while future "playdates" were "flat"- most likely using revised "standard" trailers omitting the "3-D" tag...I meant to say that some people saw the "original" version when it was first released, while more people eventually saw it "flat".
The Theremin always creeped me out in every movie I heard it. The Day the Earth Stood Still had the best Theremin music score.Wasnt it also used in The Thing From Another World? Someone needs to used it again in a movie its the best creepy music maker ever.
Yes, this film is very good. I am tired of the current fad of putting down 1950s flicks because of budgets, special effects and being in black and white. SOme films need to be in black and white. The studios would not give them big budgets, so the filmmakers had to be creative. They were This and the other films you mentioned were not B pictures.
i have seen this movie it was good and the special fx were great, recommend this movie and this island earth, incredible shrinking man and war of the worlds.

In 1959 my brother took me to see this film. I hassled him for an ice cream so bad, after
I didn't finish it (I just chewed off all the chocolate), he threw it at the screen. Well it stuck
to the screen and started dripping down John Agar's face. It was hilarious. The little girl
in back of us, said to the usher,"here they are they did it". And we got thrown out.
