In 1950, Castle Films acquired the film library of Universal and began releasing A&C films in 8mm and 16mm. Home movie outfits were popular at that time with so many people raising children. Sears and Roebuck offered a free A&C film with each movie projector they sold.
My beautiful Mom, who passed away in 1997, is the lovely in the center at 4:24. She told me she was in Abbott and Costello go to Venus--and I never thought to look into "Mars." Thanks for posting this
Wonderful view of entire film in less than 10 minutes, and from one of most interesting and funny scifi from fifties - who wouldn´t love to have that fin tailed jetcar with a cast of stunning girs? Thank you very much for sharing with us!
When I was about 7 years old in the late sixties, some boyscouts held a yardsale. They also had a shed where they showed some 8mm movies, and this was one of them! It made an enormous impression - we only had one TV-channel here in Denmark, and they would never show anything like this (they sent a few episodes of Thunderbirds, before it was taken off for being to commercial). I havn't seen it since, so this is pure nostalgia.
Thank you, 2reelers, for making an aging Sci-Fi-fan very happy.
Castle Films made a mint offering edited "highlights" of Bud & Lou's films over the years- in fact, after the release of "Oysters & Mussels", A&C discovered their films were being "condensed" for the "home movie" market without their permission, and sued the company. A settlement was reached....when you have Mari Blanchard and the 1953 "Miss Universe" contestants (including Anita Ekberg) as Venusians, why should it matter if they carried spears or not? This was pure farce, and everyone KNEW it!
Thanks to Castle Films for editing the feature film down to somewhat bearable proportions. Still not sure why the feature film was not called "... Go to Venus."
i seen this 8mm film my whole childhood, thank you so much !

Funny how the Venusians "discarded that model 20 years ago". If they are so advanced, why do they carry spears? Oh well.. A&C are funny anyway.
