What a pity it was that the director and producer of this film back in '67 made such a terrible job of translating Murray Leinster''s quirky but well written book into film. They left out a lot of the main character's childhood experiences that explained what happened later in the book. The Wailing Asteroid is good fun, an escapist novel, and well worth a read. These days, I think a decent director such as Lucas or Cameron could make an excellent movie with the SFX they have available now.
I saw the last half of this movie on late-night TV when I was a boy, but I never knew its name. What a surprise to find it here!

One of my favorites. I have a VHS burned to DVD and still enjoy this movie.

This looks like a colorized 'Doctor Who' episode from the Troughton years....

Oh my god. I'm terrified already, and I haven't even seen the movie.

I fondly remember this cheesy classic. It was a staple on Ch.9 in NYC back in the '70s.
