Why no mention of "This Island Earth" as the best SF movie
of the 1950s??? After an admittedly slow start (the fist 45 minutes
are spent setting up the finish, but what's so unusual about that)
and some rather unconvincing models the story really hots up with
our Earthling heroes joining an interplanetary battle with some
really great visuals. This is the movie that E.T. spent some of his
time on Earth watching.
"Battle Beyond the Stars" footnote. This was shown on
commercial TV over here in little ol' England and we were allowed to
see the huge-breasted one. You didn't miss THAT much!!!!
