One of the bigger interplanetary spectacles of the 50s, and one of the last films shot in 3-strip Technicolor, Universal's "Supreme Excitement of Our Time" brought out the sense of wonder in a generation of cold war tykes while scaring them half to death with the unlikely but cool "Mutants": "similar to the insect life on your own planet, but larger of course."
Alternate title: "This Island Mirth". Considered the "Starship Troopers" of its day. Goofy and fun; who didn't like Faith Domergue?

@Numinous20111 better than forbidden planet-much better.

Faith Domergue looked hot in the skirts and dresses. The space suit does nothing for her butt.

It's unfortunate that this film wasn't made more in the style of 'Forbidden Planet'. While it's colorful, it's just a pulp story with B-movie treatment. I don' feel the same kind of nostalgia with this as I do for 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' and it's not as impressive in production therms as 'F.Planet'.

It's OKay. I don't know if was worth 2.5 years in the making. Plus the Earth guy's head's as big as the alien's head.
