I was born in 1959 and have never seen this movie. This is definitely NOT what I thought it was going to be. Young Peter Graves was so awesome to watch, what an great movie🥹
This movie is truly underrated for its time. The meaning behind making first contact is deep and makes you think about humanity. Just to let you know, the movie Contact Staring Joedy Foster is based on this movie.
Watching this reminds me of the 1950s I grew up in. Nothing of the 50s is lost if we remember scripture. Exodus 14:14 comes to mind seeing today's evil. They say, "Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord that He has provided for you today; for the Egyptians that you see today, you will never ever see again." I think it safe to occasionally replace "egyptians" with Karens, crypto currency , or other things. Be well, my friend. God bless🎉😊🙏❤
Boy - hokey as it is, given how slick moviemaking has become in the last 70 years - this movie sets a hook in your heart. Even an old grizzled coot like me still has a glimmer of faith somewhere deep beneath the leathery skin. It's worth keeping in mind, in this age of science, that the pervasive existence of religion among mankind would not exist if there were not some competitive advantage conferred on the believers over those with no such belief. Every animal and plant evolves in competition; every feature - beak, claw, sharp eye - is there because its possessor is better for it, and a better survivor of the challenges of existence. Religion is not here by chance - even from a purely scientific viewpoint, it MUST confer a survival advantage, or it would have disappeared like tails and fur from our bodies. Universal truths simply persist against all attempts to deny them.
Evolution is rubbish, that right there is where disbelief begins. What foolishness to believe that the atomic genetic structure of a reptiles scales can change to become the atomic genetic structure of a feather. There are and have been many thousands of famous scientists that were inspired by Gods Word to discover so much. How could a bee that, depending upon the time of year only lives such a short period possibly evolve? The astounding complexity of a creature that knows how to identify EXACT geographical locations and pass that detailed information on to others in an equally astounding 'dance' is so far fetched it IS science fiction. How did that info get passed on? How did that dance develop? How did the next generation of bee develop the skill to decipher that dance? All this without surviving long enough to even 'evolve' how to procreate. The human ability to procreate is mind bogglingly complex. Even a so-called simple cell is truly deeply incredible. That cell needs the ability to pass on information within itself, order needed nutrients etc, deliver them to another location within that cell. A comparison to that cell would be perhaps an industrial city. I challenge you to look right into it.
THESE SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES FROM THE 50'S AND 60'S ARE GREAT. PETER GRAVES, BROTHER OF JAMES ARNESS. I REMEMBER HIM FROM THE "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE " SERIES FROM THEMID 60'S.

7:58 "Einstein split the atom" - he didn't - he was a theoretical physicist who explained the huge amount of energy bundled in a small chunk of matter - others worked at atom splitting - and eventually created the atomic bomb - his only contribution to the atomic bomb was his letter to FDR - convincing him of the need to do it first
@@paulrichards2365 Schiaparelli first reported 'canali', which translates as 'channels' but was mistranslated as 'canals'. Percival Lowell built an observatory above Flagstaff, AZ over 125 years ago just to look for the 'canali'. We now know that people often see what they wish, mirage or no.
This movie is definitely a relic of the Cold War propaganda from the Red Scare in the early 1950s and the blacklist of writers who did not toe the line. Interesting to watch it in that context.
Peter is not known as a star of science fiction movies like Agar or Carlson but you could make a point that he could be, red planet Mars, killers from space. It conquered the world, beginning of the end come to mind.
I also liked old, reliable, Kenneth Toby, always the man in uniform : The Thing...., It Came From Beneath the Sea, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, X - 15, etc.
@Puss-n-Boots speaking of the beast , why cast an unknown like Paul Christian in the lead , he brings nothing and is not well known . Makes more sense to Kenneth T in the lead.
Paul Christian, also known as Paul Hubschmid was a Swiss actor and, as you say, not well known but competent. He was pretty weak in The Beast...and any number of American actors could have played the scientist with greater aplomb. Kenneth Toby was already cast as the commander of the Army forces. I also like the sharpshooter, in a bit part, who delivers the isotope into the monster : Lee Van Cleef.@@randyacuna5643
I cannot emphasis strongly enough how much this film affected me as a child. I was born in 1952. Just as the film has portrayed, the evil Soviet Empire has fallen and the Russian Federation is a nation of the Russian Orthodox Church, not Marxism. I am a scientist who believes. I fell for the message of the goodness of the USA that I no longer believe, unless we finally realize that we are responsible for the problems we face. Not Russia, China or some fictional devil. We did not eat of the fruit of the tree of good and evil, we are that fruit for we hold within ourselves the seeds of good and evil. God did not give us free will, we grow it on our own. It is our choice to make between life and death. Ours and nobody else's. God just wants us to be happy in my opinion. Time to realize that childhood ends and adult choices must be made. God Bless Us All
??? You say God bless but deny his existence? Then you say he wants us to be happy. Sheesh talk about Captain Contradiction. God IS real, the devil most certainly is. You're right about NOT eating from the tree of Good and evil but we did eat from the tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil. God gave us His Word on how we should behave and we CHOOSE to obey or ignore. We do make bad even evil choices. We are born with sin within, just look at how innocent children can be very disobedient. I pray that you seek Jesus with all your heart. You WILL be stunned.

Interesting movie. I remember watching this when I was a young child. Yep all a political tug of war nonsense, not brave enough to share anything really worthwhile ….all about manipulating, greed, money and war mongering, so sad it still happening today …😥😥😥😥
Actor who played Dr Mitchell (Lewis Martin) seems to like being in Films about Mars as he was also in the 1953 version of "War of the Worlds" as Pastor Dr. Matthew Collins.
This film leaves a lot of clues as why governments are reluctant to go with full disclosure on the UAP subject. And I have a guess it won't happen soon...

Wow!!! Whatever the story line was, actually fits this time. maybe people should watch this movie lots of religious Bible verses mentioned. A movie between good and evil.
I don't quite understand why the world went to pieces because of what the Martians were doing? If my neighbour no longer needed to take the train because be bought a car, I would still take the train as required, wouldn't I? Then it all made less and less sense as it got religious.

Surprise! Color film was rare and expensive even as late as the ‘50’s… color TV’s were rare (and expensive) well into the mid-60’s. So a more-limited budget film would highly likely be shot in B&W.
The Red Planet is in black and white. Lol. The wife has spent years helping to create a transmitter to contact Mars and she constantly speaks in apocalyptic terms about such contact.
Thing about these scientists is they always seem to think some superior alien race will happily share their secrets with them instead of capturing them and anally probing them....
@Tom Dooley Packy was a Green Beret in Vietnam. I just watched a video with Bob Diamond, Mobley, and the guy who played Pee Wee at a conference table maybe 10 years ago, telling their stories. They all lived really interesting lives.
didnt make any difference, fanatics are still killing people over religious differences when in all religions there is one supreme being. its my opinion and im not going to get into religious discussions.

It's not like they already have any new technology up and running or the demand for materials and goods suddenly wasn't there.
People still need food, heating, housing, transportation etc etc.
The movie was packed with religious propaganda. It was sickening! But I suppose that it was pretty much mandatory in 1952 to be publicly pious.
I had the same reaction. Those shifty Martians were able to collapse our industry without even face-to-face contact? Sure.
Great movie !
What an interesting story idea.
BUT.....
RED Planet Mars us in B & W?
Astronomical photographic plates are black and white.
Surprise! Color film was rare and expensive even as late as the ‘50’s… color TV’s were rare (and expensive) well into the mid-60’s.
So a more-limited budget film would highly likely be shot in B&W.
What an odd movie, Graves trips and they didn't re shoot, scene included twice, very strange.
That's intentional. His older son didn't put the lawn mower away, Dad trips on it, and gives the son an earful.
A precursor to Jodie Foster's 1997 movie "Contact!"
More accurately, Carl Sagan’s story…Foster just starred in it. Writers don’t get enough credit.
The Red Planet is in black and white. Lol. The wife has spent years helping to create a transmitter to contact Mars and she constantly speaks in apocalyptic terms about such contact.
It's interesting how happy the kids looked after they lost both parents.
I remember Peter Graves from the tv series
"Fury"
The story of a horse and the boy who loved him. Nope never saw it😂
Been looking for this flick❤ THANKS😊😊😊😊
for eyes only to the president?... after several others have looked at it..the president asks... can I see it? 😐
Thing about these scientists is they always seem to think some superior alien race will happily share their secrets with them instead of capturing them and anally probing them....
We would never give anybody anything. 😂. It’s amazing to me that we would expect anything. Just being human I guess
"To Serve Man":
"Mr. Chambers, don't get on that ship! The rest of the book, To Serve Man, it's... it's a cookbook!"
@@frankcavaciuti5947 🤣😂🤣😂 LOL!
Perfect analysis!
Why go to Mars? they anally probe here, and it is soon to be a requirement.
..Narcissists have substituted the word 'Science' for Mysticism, in order to underwrite tyranny...👎🏿👎🏿
George A. Romero's 1968 "Night of the Living Dead's" Opening Intro,
shares quite a few similarities with Harry Horner's "Red Planet Mars". 🍁
Peter Graves made a tv series in Australia called Whiplash, about the stagecoach company Cobb & Co. I remember it well.
Why haven’t I seen this movie before?
Graves, so young here
Quite a long time before _Airplane!_
Where did they get that big flat screen TV in 1952? 🙂
You would never see a movie like this made in the United States today.
brilliant just simply brilliant
Interesting
Jim Newton before he bought the Broken Wheel Ranch.
"Packy"
@Tom Dooley Packy was a Green Beret in Vietnam. I just watched a video with Bob Diamond, Mobley, and the guy who played Pee Wee at a conference table maybe 10 years ago, telling their stories. They all lived really interesting lives.
Hey thats the priest from War of the Worlds!
Like the movie, but the ads are broadcast at many decibels higher than the soundtrack! Who decides this? Makes the whole thing intolerable.
Amateur radio. Vibroplex keyer. Interesting.
Arness brothers were great !
didnt make any difference, fanatics are still killing people over religious differences when in all religions there is one supreme being. its my opinion and im not going to get into religious discussions.
Too late. You already did.
