I LOVE the youtube postings of these cornball sci-fi movies from the 1950s-1960s when I was a little boy. They were interesting to me as a young boy back then.
Ah the good old days, when men smoked smokeless pipes, guards opened doors to check a room was empty and never looked behind the door, people came home with mysterious scars from surgery they couldn't explain, and fighter jets flew EMP waves...............................LOL. Love these old sci-fi films..............................
I love sci-fi! Especially from the golden age. Forbidden Planet, Island of Terror, Village of the Damned, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Quatermass and the Pit, Silent Running, Logan's Run, Planet of the Apes, Fire Maidens of Outer Space, The Gamma People, et. al. GREAT STUFF!
I love these old black and white movies. This one I never saw before. Perter Graves has always been handsome. It was filled with excitement. Those reptiles etc. scared me. lol The creatures with the eyes, were funny as heck. Thank you scifilondon for the enjoyment.
Yep, tabaco by definition is a protective plant. At least as makes everything dirty, you have to clean always, reason they are taking away as if evil, people that cleans cost money. Since you can't smoke in planes, they don't clean them properly.
What a hoot! Stock footage, giant mutant insects, Peter Graves running in circles in a cavern, big eyed aliens trying to take over Earth. What more could you ask for? Great stuff....!
He does use about a fourth of a second snippet of this movie on his current intro of the show. *clearing all airlanes, clearing all airlanes* *make way for the big broadcast* 😁
As soon as I saw those eyes, my memory went back to seeing it was I was very young (like 9 or 10). I remember the theater and exactly where we sat. I was so freaked out by those eyes, I had nightmares. Now, they're just creepy but laughable. I love these old movies
Oh i like the "stale" parts. Those are those square nerd geek manly man secretary makes coffee hokey pretend contrived serious scientist military journalist no drama drama sections. Very nice for background music while cooking in the kitchen, or as a sleeping companion.
I used to do business with several hospitals in Richmond VA. As late as the mid 90's, they still permitted smoking. Of course, the major industry in Richmond is...
Oh no you didn't? LOL oh yes back in the day my uncle was a veteran he was in the hospital talking to the doctor. The conversation went like this mr. Olson I'm telling you one more time you better stop smoking as your doctor I want to make sure you follow my orders a doctor look at what what are you talking about and all the doctor grab his lighter and cigarette self in and go out in the smoke in the smoke break area my uncle said you mind if I join you? The doctor said sure, they both had a good laugh and went out the door well a my uncle's no longer with me now but I remember that story he told me. I'm fucking believable they both went out to the smoke break area and had a good smoke
Great movie...........great plot......using horn toads, roaches, lizards, taratulas all grown to super size........good dialog.......overcomes less that stellar aliens with bushy eyebrows and huge eyes. It is refreshing to see an intelligent sci fi movie. Two thumbs up !!!
Anyone else notice that they show a B-47 taking off 0:25 but the bomb carrying plane is a B-29 0:49 ? Probably because it was a lot easier to get stock footage of B-29 showing the bomb bay doors opening, because it was a WW II aircraft was essentially obsolete by this time. Footage of the A-bomb test was probably public domain, and they could pad the move a little with free film. Nevertheless, I love these old 50's sci-fi B movies, and grew up watching them on TV in the 1960s.
Are you talking about Bill Cardill from Pittsburgh? If you are, I and my brothers religiously watched his show and it used to scare the piss out of us. Nice to know that there are other Chiller Theatre watchers out there.
There are two Super Constellations still flying, one of them with the Swiss watch manufacturer Breitling together with the Super Constellation Flying Association, the other one with the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society of Australia.
I think there should be a remake or sequel to THIS flick but taking place after those giant lizards and bugs, from that "menagerie", have been UNLEASHED. It would be perfect in the post splatter & action movie age, .. . could depict people fighting those things or struggling to take refuge from them or being victimized by them, and the depiction of them "devouring" people could be pretty gory. There'd be a lot of potential in it, ya know.
I guess most of the people watching these movies aren’t old enough to have read any of the Uncle Remus tales. They are lesson based stories. That’s where the tarbaby reference comes from. I really enjoy theses old movies...they bring back childhood memories.
Pamela Dipzinski I thought the same thing until I realized that the term 'tarbaby' is referring to the fact that the planes are taking off and landing on tar. To call the planes 'tarbaby 1, tarbaby 2, tarbaby 7' as in the old racist slang makes no sense whatsoever.
@@antidotenyhc6562 Tarbaby is not a a racist slang. It's usage should be obvious if you have ever got tar on your hands. Though I suppose anything can be racist if you try hard enough.
Not a racist slang? Here's the Free Dictionary definition if you don't believe me. Tar Babies: "Offensive slang used as a disparaging term for a black person, especially a dark-skinned black child. [After 'Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby', an Uncle Remus story by Joel Chandler Harris'] Which is precisley why Uncle Remus books and movies were banned back in the 80s. Look it up if you think i'm making it up.
Yes now we're talking! These are the sci-fi films I was brought up on!! Looking forwards to watching this again....along with the 60s Hammer Horror films I'm in my element!
Did anyone notice, one of the army desk clerks says his name is Mandel or Mantrel or Mantel; the latter is the name of that pilot I believe who circa 1948, was chasing a visual UFO, on radar too I believe, but he chased it, said it was huge & fast, but he went too high, probably lost consciousness, airplane crashed, known as first UFO related death...
I like the picture of Barnaby Jones hanging in the colonel's office. He must be president in this universe. So much to love about these movies. Go from an imminent plane crash to showing up at the base gate, a bit ruffled up but hairstyle intact. A giant surgical scar. Shrug. Golly, must have got it in the crash. Oh, only ten minutes in. Back to the show!
Not bad, solid sci-fi drama with Peter Graves. ONLY ONE over the top alien cosmetic feature which "they" do explain, otherwise everything else seems plausible. Not the greatest, but a entertaining diversion.
Reminds me of being little, early 1970's. Dark living room. Old houses. Adults nodded off or silently watching. Me not understanding the movie but nothing else to really do. No technology back then. Daydreaming. But the old movie sound from an innocent time engraved in my mind forever.
Around 38 or so minutes into the flick, one of the aliens gives a 'report." It sounded like reversed audio, so I recorded it and used audacity to reverse it back again. Yep. It's nonsense, but the guy says a coherent sentence. "The readings are 25 26 to the right, 27 28 29 to the left, 30 31 up, 32 33 down."
Peter Graves acted in NUMEROUS films, yet the year he died, when the Oscar ceremony recapped all the industy people who passed away, he was NOT mentioned. That was an unfair oversight.
The Thing from Another World Featuring Actor James Arness as the monster and here on this B-rated Sci-Fi flick featuring his Brother Peter Graves, two great actors with long careers in T.V. & Movies and here they were during the mid 1950's in their early beginning's. I don't recall ever seeing Killers from Space because when I was a kid I use to tune into Chiller Theater or Creature Features and I think I'd remember this one from way back when, but it was fun tuning into this cool oldie on TH-cam. Neat - Oh !!! LOL !
@@sergi339These two brothers James Arness & Peter Graves were very good actors and between the two of them we had Gun Smoke & Mission Impossible and some movie moments. They left their mark.
@@franktheo2055 I knew James from 'Terror...' Unfortunately Gun Smoke couldn't be seen in my country, I never heard about it, but thanks to your comment, I'm gonna watch it!
@@sergi339 Gun Smoke was a TV western that was on air from 1955 - 1975. I remember the show when I was a kid from the 1960's - the 1970's my parents use to watch it way back when. It was cool to see how these actors started out. Wishing You A Good One.
Notice that Eisenhower’s pictures are everywhere in this film!! Also how these 50’s films foretold the future/investigation of UFOlogy!! As Eisenhower said, beware the Military Industrial Complex! Common sense is needed but an open mind is needed also!!
They saw old movies about The Phantom and said "Wo, cool. Let's all get spiffy hoodies like that. And wear ping pong ball glasses instead of eye masks. Then we'll be the cool kids!"
I love that kind of movies. Devils in 13-17 century illustrations also look "hilarios" to us. Generally/ It's interesting to see what frightened our... er, ancestors. How about maing a movie about guys in the 1950s making a movie with cardboard bug-eyed monsters from UFOs, and suddenly "real", i.e presently fashonable aliens attack the studio?
Cheap and low budget but kind of suspenseful and atmospheric. That was especially true in the aliens' underground cavern (the reviving the dead scene was kind of creepy).
Thanks for this very entertaining and insightful flick, When we see how big we are in relation to the insects and visa-versa.This movie is a combination of "The Helstrom Chronicles, "Fire in the sky", and" The Island of Dr. Moreau".
LOL, the giant insects at 44:00 Same year, 1954, Graves brother Jim Arness starred in Them! about an invasion of giant ants...which ends up in a blazing battle in the LA sewer system, which somehow seems appropriate.
Andrew Quirey Old stuff often has its charm incomparable. I personally like to watch forgotten or half-forgotten films and to read suchlike books or magazines and even newspapers.
The alien report at 01:10:44 wasn't just gobbledegook, it is reversed audio, here is the translation... "The readings are. 25, 26 to the right. 27, 28, 29 to the left. 30, 31 up. 32,33 down."
Just a bit of film trivia, Paul nudeman tured down the main role in this Hollywood master class because of the arguments he had with its second director John Ford , John Ford went on to direct goastbusters.
My uncle saw this in a theater in Clinton Ok when he was 6 with my grandparents it gave him nightmares we watched it the other day and he laughed at the fact it gave him nightmares.
I always love the sociopolitical aspects of older sci-fi. Rod Sterling actually used The Twilight Zone to address issues he couldn't get past the censors with non sci-fi. Imho, this is what makes his version of the Twilight Zone superior to all remakes. I think at least one aspect of movies like this was about us trying to come to terms with our creation of atomic power.
Okay, *so people who aren't really crazy act crazy as hell to convince others they're not really crazy.* Right. Makes perfect sense to me. He sure is damn lucky he didn't have to prove he's sane. LOL.
He tried but when they didn't believe him, despite the crash and the weird scar, he got so frustrated he "acted crazy". Even after truth serum they refused to believe it might be true.

50s scifi at its best. There was nothing better than watching these as a kid Friday and Saturday nights as a kid especially on Chiller Theatre
Me too! I loved Chiller…

Peter Graves....was in everything in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's eh...what a talent!!!!
Or never learned to save a dime his entire career...🤔?
Peter Graves,...WAY BACK WHEN!!!
and his brother, James Arness was the star of Gunsmoke. Good days.

Mr. Graves. Wherever you are, that was one rough mission impossible. Thank you. Good memories growing up with you and thank TH-cam.
I loved these old movies. Watched them over and over as a kid.

Don't forget The Thing From Another World, The Day The Earth Stood Still and This Island Earth!
And Earth Versus The Flying Saucers!
you have very good taste in movies
The "Ping Pong Ball" eyes have been embedded in my memory since I was 7 years old.
Reminded me of Buzz Lightyear.
Also, the Outer LImits (TOS) episode, "Mutant," had this, but with much better effects.
I love these old black and white movies. This one I never saw before. Perter Graves has always been handsome. It was filled with excitement. Those reptiles etc. scared me. lol The creatures with the eyes, were funny as heck. Thank you scifilondon for the enjoyment.
I love black and white science fiction. TFS
...at the Late Nite... double-feature... picture show (by RKO)...

All it is missing is the fuzz of bad reception, keep adjusting those rabbit ears.

This is the kind of stuff that should be on Svengoli. Excellent film.
Where does Svengoolie get his movies from? He should be showing real korny Stuff like this! Wurd!

Peter Graves voice is comforting. Helps me to sleep!
Ha ha ha !
A Peter Graves Sci-Fi Thriller for sure !!! Two years before my birth...damn I'm getting old.
im 75 im getting old also
I am certain this is part mystery science theatre 3000
old is only what you make it.
No the feeling
And to think sci fi like this used to scare the crap outta me in my childhood...
This was scary back then...(chiller theatre back in the 1960’s)

Peter Graves would face that giant locust again in “The Beginning of the End”.
