After watching only the start of this film a few times i finally got to see it all the way through . It is a unique and largely successful execution of a complex idea/s. I didn't expect it to be so good and i would consider it to be one of the most significant of the 60s.
For what looks like a typical 50/60's B-grade sci-fi movie that I've never heard of, this was actually rather good. And we're a lot closer to that moment now than we were then.
This is far from what I expected from a '60's movie. It is well written and very thought provoking. Seems like we are heading in that direction and it really makes sense.

When I clicked on the title I was expecting cheese. Instead I got a very profound thought provoking sci fi movie. This has got to be up there along with a 'space odyssey 2001'. Very good writing. I will definitely watch this again.

Watching this for the first time, I'm making a list in my head of sci-fi movies I thought were unique and original before. Now I suspect a lot of screenwriters have seen this and kept it hidden. This was amazing!
This was Andy Warhol's favorite film, or so he said. I remember seeing on television a long, long time ago. It's remarkable how many of its themes have survived, intact, in not only science fiction, but nowadays in philosophy, science, social science, etc etc. Definitely glad to have seen it again, some 4O years later.
John Manno...You should watch... "OMICRON"...not just a 1963 Sci-fi movie about a alien virus that takes over a mans body while protecting the flora & fauna, killing the humans so his Race can take over Earth....yeah... 1963
@@phoebus Obviously the point being made by this movie sailed WAYYYY over your head. How are you people so easily conned? If you had a decent (and basic) science education, you’d know how viruses operate. The “elites” like Trump politicized this pandemic. If we had listened to public health professionals at the beginning, we would not be stuck with Covid now. Instead the GOP played the low information crowd like children. Social media has aided the far right in destroying our democratic institutions. Hint: the Order of Flesh & Blood are the MAGA’s. Guess you missed the part about ultra-conservative groups blocking progress. The GOP, right on cue, is taking us back to the 1920’s.
micro-organism-pv5gd Yet another awesome movie! Lol. Knowing what I know about Warhol, he probably had a lot of "favorite movies" and who knows if it was all "true", whatever "true" means. Which was something Warhol loved to question, in all kinds of ways.
Profound arguments of logic and emotion without the usual action scenes to stimulate the viewer. Many of the top writers of 50's sci-fi reflected this kind of storytelling. Long speeches by main characters to expound on the actions or choices that man has made. Boring to some, but very entertaining for the "thinking" person. Thanks for posting !
This movie, like most things that require thought and attention, does not appeal to the masses. Today people would have a fraction of their attention on the movie, but would primarily be scrolling on their phone.
Yes, film makers hate dialogue which they feel slows down the pace of the movie and above all they fear that listerners' attention will wonder, which is true if the dialogue is poorly written. However, expectations were low anyway for low budget "B" movies, so they could take a chance on inserting more dialogue or experimenting in other ways.
Reminds me of GATTACA in that it's all story and dialogue. It's good story and dialogue. Something that is kind of hard to pull off. I had never heard of this movie, and expected something completely different looking at the opening seconds. (I don't read reviews beforehand on these old movies, just a weird personal quirk) I was pleasantly surprised. Well worth the watch.
This movie anticipated several themes that would be central to Blade Runner (1981): specifically, the nature of humanity, whether such qualities could exist in artificial life forms and, if they do, whether exploiting their labour is slavery.
Folks--especially fellow nerds--this movie was well ahead of its time. I had never heard of it til I discovered it here on YT a few years ago. I found it interesting and thought-provoking. Check this out!
At 3:26 the 'R1 Robot' appears. This suit is from the 1956 film 'Earth Versus the Flying Saucers' and must have been lying around in the Columbia Pictures' wardrobe department.
this was a great scifi movie. it went by in a breeze and was not too talky at all - everything they said was on point and gave you plenty to think about re acceptance, what does it mean to be human and perhaps more than human. 🎉
I realize that this movie does not have a lot of action but its got a lot of thought and concept. Good art direction as well. Think of it more as a Shakespearean play and its quite enjoyable. Thanks for posting it!
Happy to see the film so respected here. One of the very few "true" science fiction movies...that is, a movie done without regard for being commercial or popular, but rather as a meditation on what makes a human being really human.
I remember seeing the movie on TV over 50 yrs ago. I think it was shown on the weekend. We had only a B&W TV, so didn't know the movie was in color. Saw movie on TCM a couple of years ago in color. I've seen the movie a few times since then. Enjoy it each time. Interesting only 2 women in the movie. Both had very short TV/film credits as listed on IMDB. I would have preferred when the scientist said he can make both Cragis and Maxine R100, it would fade and show a clip of then current humans walking about. Letting people watching to come to their own conclusions of what he meant. Either way, a great film.
Love it! The background music, the set designs, the costumes, the concept, the script and the robotic movements/acting. An excellent little gem of a film. Thanks for putting it out there!!!
@@spazztechluxx Back then, the technology involving contact lenses was primitive. Those "ball bearing" silver contacts were hard lenses!... and most actors in that time period hated any hard lenses. They hurt like hell to wear for any significant length of time. But this cast pulled it off to great effect.
Science Fiction is first and foremost a literature of ideas. And the ideas raised in this movie, especially concerning the ability to transfer intelligence into computer-based embodiments, are remarkably prescient. Also, this is very much like an Asimov story.
Wow! What an original! Watching it I came across the feeling of Blade Runner, The Matrix, Total Recall, Frankenstein Unbound, Terminator, Trancers, even Kraftwerk. It would make a great live theatre play, if theaters ever come back...
This is always a good movie to rewatch every so often, it really does make a person in today's world wonder about the newer technologies, such as AI, and if anything, it's just a good movie to become engrossed in and escape back to more wonderous days. The '60's offered hope to many of us .. I really appreciate you sharing this movie with us!
I've seen this three times and I finally noticed that the Surveillance Committee of Flesh and Blood agents were wearing Civil War style Confederate uniforms. Don't know if it was on purpose or not, but it was genius.
Actually the pants are similar to those of the Hussars of the late medieval period. The "kepi" hats are Civil War shape, both sides. Very likely on purpose to make the Order look both fascistic and very ridiculous as Cragis' sister points out. Also very likely, due to low budget, the props/costumes were "borowed" from other movies and repurposed.
I was the youngest of five siblings and all the others got to see monster / sci-fi films before I was allowed to. My next-oldest brother got to see this in a theater and I remember him describing the plot on the way to school one morning - although I no longer remember any specifics.
we have one actor from Plan 9. and a great line "I'll have your memory pulled so fast you'll never forget it." this is way i love cheesy sci-fi. the premise is great. see a lot of Bladerunner in this. also didn't see the twist in the order dude being a replacement. very good.
I've been a sci-fi nerd for 60 years and this is the first time i have seen this movie. What a little gem! Okay, it's a bit clunky and obviously dated, but the philosophical questions it raises are very valid, especially in the 21st century and the soon-to-be reality of AI. It would be good if a really competent staff of screen-writers expanded the script and a first-class director took on a remake. Tom Cruise's movie Oblivion had some of the same themes. It's a rich area for exploration.
I have never seen this movie before. It is very intellectual, and quite good. It should be better known. It's almost up there with The Forbin Project (based on the novel Colossus by D.F. Jones).
The philosophical dialogue is awesome. To answer a question within the film. The human body with soul is resurrected not the new body machine but the acts afterwards will be evaluated by God.
I had just watched Matrix Resurrections well watched about half an hour of it before I had to shut it off. Reason was too much action and stupid writing. This movie was amazing. No action but one heck of a story plus lots of things to make you cerebral without having to try to figure out what the movie was really about. This movie is a keeper.
cheesiest costumes ever, but the dialogues are well written, the intro is greatly done, the music is li8ke its made by devo on a trip ^^ and the robots really have the "charme" of yul brynners infamous gunslinger. the scientist is like a brad dourif predecessor. a very unusual and intellectual scifi movie. very unique. its about what todays science calls the "singularity", the moment of unification of humans and machines.
Wow, really shocked at how good this movie is and that i had never seen it before now! Thank you so much for allowing all of is to enjoy it,! And since we have enjoyed it the operation was most definitely a success 😂😂😂
You see where movies like “Terminator”, “Blade Runner”, “Alien” (Ash, Bishop, David) , “Battlestar Galactica 2005” (Cyclones) got their ideas from, and like Disney animations, all the same story, antagonist, protagonist, etc. just different characters and application of current technology, from references of gears, servos, relays to CPUs, by wire, fiber optics, etc.
Feb 6 2022, what an awesome movie, now the ancient technology we are just now in the last 100 or so years makes you wonder if the last line said 20,000 years or more ago really was said and everything before was lost to time.
One of the best sci fi movies of its, or any, time. All performances are excellent with a great one from Dudley Manlove. Such a different movie from his earlier " Plan 9". I would say it would be great to see it remade, but there's no reason to - it would likely be ruined. I would love to see it get the recognition that it deserves as I had never heard of it before seeing it some years ago here on TH-cam.
I don't recall seeing this, when I was growing up, as I'd watch anything sci-fi/horror, had to offer 😁!! I haven't seen this since the mid-late, nineties, when I recorded it. I also have the remake, from 1980.
While this film was being produced at the beginning of the 1960s, the US civil rights movement was at full intensity. It is easy to see how the nuclear war which set the stage for the events in this supposedly futuristic film reflects not only the fears of the Cold War, but also the recent cultural disruption marked by WW2 which both then and today signaled a critical turning point in American history and Western civilization more broadly; the flesh and bloods represent white Americans; the robots represent black Americans and the more "humanoid" robots represent black Americans with greater degrees of white admixture; the most advanced humanoid robots were "passing for white;" and anxiety about the consequences of "human" or white birth rates remaining consistently below the rate of increase in the "robot" or black population was common in that period; Craiger is active in a conservative group that is similar to white activist groups of that period such as the Council of Conservative Citizens which were fighting for a lost cause because the attitudes and opinions of the majority of white Americans had already changed as revealed by opinion polls taken in the 1950s; and I hardly need to mention the racial implications of Craiger's own sister carrying on an open relationship with a robot! So this film is not about technology or science at all. It is about America's own internal struggles over its racial question that were raging in 1962. And of course there was a long history of popular thought that viewed the African descended population which comprised a servile population in America as not fully human or in the most extreme cases as not really human at all and without a soul. When the two robots in the film who were unwittingly "passing as human" learn about their true origins at the end of the film, they decide to cast aside their human identities and to identify as robot. They have discovered "robot pride."
Wow, that was a super old school scifi film! Two other rarely seen, great old scifi classics are " The 27th Day " and the film with the corniest title ever, but it's a great scifi film, " I Married A Monster from Outer Space". Check'em out!
When I began watching this I was expecting a movie on the "cheesy side." What I wound up watching was a terrific movie and an interesting look at what the world could look like in the future! Thanks for posting this, you now have a new subscriber! 😂❤
this movie is prescient in many ways:, WW3, sex bots, societal collapse. I urge people to watch and ignore the lack of CGI, this was sci fi 60 years ago, now it is here

we have one actor from Plan 9. and a great line "I'll have your memory pulled so fast you'll never forget it." this is way i love cheesy sci-fi. the premise is great. see a lot of Bladerunner in this. also didn't see the twist in the order dude being a replacement. very good.
Actually, you see a lot of This in Bladerunner.
didn't need "action". It was a good movie.
OMFG, I can't believe the dialog at 1:15:15, "we made you a bit thinner, you had a tendency to be plump", "thank you". LOL.
Why not? This movie was made 60 years ago after all.
What a delightful movie. I never saw this before and glad I was able too.
What a mind "mind blowing" little story !!!!!.
I've been a sci-fi nerd for 60 years and this is the first time i have seen this movie. What a little gem! Okay, it's a bit clunky and obviously dated, but the philosophical questions it raises are very valid, especially in the 21st century and the soon-to-be reality of AI. It would be good if a really competent staff of screen-writers expanded the script and a first-class director took on a remake. Tom Cruise's movie Oblivion had some of the same themes. It's a rich area for exploration.
Very good movie, it makes more sense now than then
wow, at 00:38:55 - this repeated in blade runner 2049! "you cant back the ocean with a sponge"
I have never seen this movie before. It is very intellectual, and quite good. It should be better known. It's almost up there with The Forbin Project (based on the novel Colossus by D.F. Jones).
The philosophical dialogue is awesome. To answer a question within the film. The human body with soul is resurrected not the new body machine but the acts afterwards will be evaluated by God.
Wow I can see where some of the plot for blade runner came from.
Better than some movies made in recent years and based on a true story. )
It appears like the writers incorporated Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics.
Great writing and dialogue without the special effects a hidden gem
Any movie with these sound effects gets my vote automatically!
Different but a good quality acted movie Broken Trout. Interesting seeing another side of things😊😊
The concepts in this movie are almost a reality with today's technology. .
Or could already be a possibility; those who would gain immortality wouldn't want to share it with everyone, only those they deemed "worthy".
I had just watched Matrix Resurrections well watched about half an hour of it before I had to shut it off. Reason was too much action and stupid writing. This movie was amazing. No action but one heck of a story plus lots of things to make you cerebral without having to try to figure out what the movie was really about. This movie is a keeper.
cheesiest costumes ever, but the dialogues are well written, the intro is greatly done, the music is li8ke its made by devo on a trip ^^ and the robots really have the "charme" of yul brynners infamous gunslinger. the scientist is like a brad dourif predecessor. a very unusual and intellectual scifi movie. very unique. its about what todays science calls the "singularity", the moment of unification of humans and machines.
Wow, really shocked at how good this movie is and that i had never seen it before now! Thank you so much for allowing all of is to enjoy it,! And since we have enjoyed it the operation was most definitely a success 😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it! @CK-mt7om
The music score really has a cheese feel....love it!
You see where movies like “Terminator”, “Blade Runner”, “Alien” (Ash, Bishop, David) , “Battlestar Galactica 2005” (Cyclones) got their ideas from, and like Disney animations, all the same story, antagonist, protagonist, etc. just different characters and application of current technology, from references of gears, servos, relays to CPUs, by wire, fiber optics, etc.
Very underrated. Great sci-fi hides social issues behind a futuristic setting.
This is a great film. Thanks,
Thank you too! @Bill23799
Feb 6 2022, what an awesome movie, now the ancient technology we are just now in the last 100 or so years makes you wonder if the last line said 20,000 years or more ago really was said and everything before was lost to time.
THIS THE GREATEST SCI FI FLICK EVER SAW!!!
Such a lonely life. I'm watching this on a Friday nite.
Love the pronunciation of robot as “robut” back then, you hear it quite a bit in “The Twilight Zone” too.
Just saw this on Svengoolie, ME-TV Saturday night! Great old drive-in clunker movie, thanks sir!
Wow! That was great! Thanks for sharing 👍😁
One of the best sci fi movies of its, or any, time. All performances are excellent with a great one from Dudley Manlove. Such a different movie from his earlier " Plan 9". I would say it would be great to see it remade, but there's no reason to - it would likely be ruined. I would love to see it get the recognition that it deserves as I had never heard of it before seeing it some years ago here on TH-cam.
I don't recall seeing this, when I was growing up, as I'd watch anything sci-fi/horror, had to offer 😁!! I haven't seen this since the mid-late, nineties, when I recorded it. I also have the remake, from 1980.
What was the remake? Id be interested in seeing how it compares.
@@TheDavidPoole The same title. Made in 1980.
@@rogerrendzak8055 thanks Rog. I can't find this on IMDB - can you point me to anywhere I can get a hold of a copy?
Cheers ✌️
They should do a remake of this movie now !! It would go down great
It's amazing no one has re-made this movie.
This really evoked memories of Blade Runner for me.
A superb and very unique film, riveting to the end 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊👍👍
While this film was being produced at the beginning of the 1960s, the US civil rights movement was at full intensity. It is easy to see how the nuclear war which set the stage for the events in this supposedly futuristic film reflects not only the fears of the Cold War, but also the recent cultural disruption marked by WW2 which both then and today signaled a critical turning point in American history and Western civilization more broadly; the flesh and bloods represent white Americans; the robots represent black Americans and the more "humanoid" robots represent black Americans with greater degrees of white admixture; the most advanced humanoid robots were "passing for white;" and anxiety about the consequences of "human" or white birth rates remaining consistently below the rate of increase in the "robot" or black population was common in that period; Craiger is active in a conservative group that is similar to white activist groups of that period such as the Council of Conservative Citizens which were fighting for a lost cause because the attitudes and opinions of the majority of white Americans had already changed as revealed by opinion polls taken in the 1950s; and I hardly need to mention the racial implications of Craiger's own sister carrying on an open relationship with a robot! So this film is not about technology or science at all. It is about America's own internal struggles over its racial question that were raging in 1962. And of course there was a long history of popular thought that viewed the African descended population which comprised a servile population in America as not fully human or in the most extreme cases as not really human at all and without a soul. When the two robots in the film who were unwittingly "passing as human" learn about their true origins at the end of the film, they decide to cast aside their human identities and to identify as robot. They have discovered "robot pride."

That was pretty good actually. Well thought out philosophically
Interesting movie. Glad I watched. Thank you for sharing it.
Oh, i miss old world robots. Yes cyborgs are future but there should be old world robots too 😁
This movie addressed the racism prevalent in parts of America in those days in an interesting and innovative way. Kudos.
Very deep... I love it!
1:09:30 so that's where the audio clip "You are a robot" came from!
Wow, that was a super old school scifi film! Two other rarely seen, great old scifi classics are " The 27th Day " and the film with the corniest title ever, but it's a great scifi film, " I Married A Monster from Outer Space". Check'em out!
Loved "Monster from Outer Space." Now I'll look for "27th Day."
This is a great movie. Wow.
there are work days when humanoids is a fitting term. 😉.
Thanks BT for sharing this gem.
When I began watching this I was expecting a movie on the "cheesy side." What I wound up watching was a terrific movie and an interesting look at what the world could look like in the future! Thanks for posting this, you now have a new subscriber! 😂❤
Glad you enjoyed it! @suesharp8622
It’s a shame that Broken Trout didn’t appreciate the concept of the movie.
It's pretty sad alright.
This film seems to have predicted an accurate future for humanity!
This was Andy Warhol's favorite movie!
this movie is prescient in many ways:, WW3, sex bots, societal collapse. I urge people to watch and ignore the lack of CGI, this was sci fi 60 years ago, now it is here
