This is one of the more intelligent sci fi movies I have ever seen. Among other things, It is about the temptations of unlimited power and it's potential for our self destruction. It also depicts aliens as enlightened and friendly rather than as monsters. I am surprised the movie is so little known.

@georgel19841 Aliens might have arranged it so the device only worked on earthlings but I suppose they could try to take it apart and figure out how it works but then it might expode if they tamper with it.

@dutchgoing A "Bathing Beauty" is what is now called a "Beautiful Woman in a Swim Suit" think of Sports Illustrated Swim suit models or Miss Universe contestants for example, they use to call "Swim suits" by name "Bathing Suits" but it didn't sound atheletic enough so they changed the name to "swim suits".

The secret of this stuff is that it's like a broadway stage play. They didn't have oceans of content access or high tech so good writing was placed at a premium. There was only radio so Hitler was an actor. Similar to acting by lawyers seeking to paint mental images. It had to be entertaining and logically plausible, special effects didn't exist to gloss it over. Most flicks sink or swim on the writing not the acting Think of the stories by the Greeks, Romans or Poe, cave men at supper.

Thanks for posting this movie trailer. For me, it is the most interesting scifi movie I've ever seen. The posibility to have a limitless power in the hands of ordinary people... Scary...

@copernicus633 I agree, man. I have seen this movie a long time ago, and it was rather different than other movies of the same time. Very intelligent, with a very interesting topic too. What would you do in the place of any of those characters?
