    Thanks for this. I saw the film a couple of years ago and very much enjoyed it - but all the details, even down to the covers of the magazines where the source material was originally serialised, that you provided made me want to see it again. Excellent, precise and interesting review.

      When you do watch it again, let me know your reaction. I always find repeat viewings most interesting... you often see things you missed before. I also think knowing some of the background behind the film makes subsequent viewings more interesting.

    One of my favorites. However, it always amazes me how when they show a spaceship flying through space, it's accompanied with the sound of the ship. In reality, sound does not travel in a vacuum, so there would be no sound. Lol

      Yes you must remember these movies are made as entertainment, so we really need to hear the woosh of the Starship Enterprise in the opening titles of STAR TREK.

    I first saw this wonderful movie in the summer of 1955 when I was 8 years old. I love it! I never get tired of watching it!
    In the 1980s, I was on the team of Robert Skotak researching this movie for him, and interviewed both Jeff Morrow and Rex Reason in the early 1980s, and film composer Herman Stein and became lifelong friends with all three of them. I also interviewed several of the original production crew including Roswell A. Hoffman and William Alland.
    Some of the information you have is inaccurate and should be corrected.
