This is the kind of movie that English cinema excels at. Top notch acting, great characters, a wonderful script, very low threat level, even very little drama really. A great, character-driven narrative with almost no budget, dealing gently but effectively with some big ideas. Thanks for sharing this fantastic treat.
What a cast for such a small, basically simple film. Patricia Neal, Helmut Dantine, and Derek Bond all have excellent movie credentials - I wonder how in the world they were convinced to participate! Neal really shines, but both men do a fine job.

@@bethparker1500 Unfortunately, when this movie was colorized they were experimenting with the technique which as you see was not anywhere near perfect. But, they now have reached perfection and it's hard to tell which movie has been colorized. That's how good the technique is now.
I'd never even heard of this movie, but the dialogue and acting were surprisingly refined and understated, very much in the pattern of its A-listed prequel, The Day the Earth Stood Still.
@@Paladin1873"The film was released theatrically in the UK and in other countries under the titles Stranger from Venus and Immediate Disaster. In the U.S. it was only released to television by Flamingo Telefilm out of New York City under the title Immediate Disaster. This was due to a fear of legal action from 20th Century Fox, its plot being similar to Patricia Neal's earlier science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still, which in 1954 was still in theatrical re-release." So it's a remake, sort of, but not authorized. Though this movie has its charm, TDTESS is most definitely the superior movie in pretty much every way.
That was a truly wonderful movie. The special effects were minimal and tasteful. It was an emotional thriller with superb acting and story line. A good story will trump special effects every time.
Excellent movie and so well done for 1954. English, should have known. But ironically, our military would handle it in same way. Power. Control. Not discussion, not sharing. Whats happening with our UFO contact program now?
Note that this film was made only 7 short years after the first big UFO sighting, at Roswell. Very few space alien films had been made, and it was long before the false narrative from the US Air Force started the weak "weather balloon" coverup excuse. Obviously many early UFO researchers teamed up to create the script for this rare gem.
Don’t you know? The whole UFOs from outer space idea was concocted by the CIA project to camouflage flights of experimental aircraft that the US was developing. The Venusian magnetic reversal power plant was taken from actual Nazi scientists’ research that was in development by war’s end. And the US got that engineering same as we got Werner von Braun.
"… a craft that has traveled millions of light years…" - from Venus; hmm, must have taken the swing by Alpha Centauri route to Earth. He definitely was a politician. I love the old sci-fi movies and this one is good example. As always, Patricia Neal’s acting was top notch.
Too bad that same writer had no clue about Venus... he had one character refer to the ship as having travelled _"millions of light-years"_ , which is completely ridiculous, even for the time! Star Trek was only 12 years later, and even on a shoestring TV budget, they could afford a writer who had at least read a book or two about where the fucking planets were!

We are used to movies into which have poured millions for SFX, VFX, prosthetics and more but, if you put all of that out of your mind you can watch this as a very good s-f film for 1954. Nothing campy or absurd even by the standards of that time. For me the greatest pleasure was the excellent, slightly understated script with naturalistic dialogue that neither insulted the intelligence of the audience nor was it cringey.

@ThisTrainIsLost ☺️ Hope you find many other gems here in out channel. If you are into horror movies, October is the month to get plenty of it! See you around!
Some sources describe the destruction of the planet Maldek, Sumerian Marduk, creating the Asteroid Belt, as suggested in this film. Likewise the film’s message of peace.
What they said was absolutely spot-on. If we were going somewhere we would be going peacefully but if we are looking at people visiting us we would do it in a way that would be aggressive and would probably lead to us being destroyed. It's the nature of Suspicion of people on this planet SMH😢
Humans kill humans for territorial ownership, that's why we have wars ... So yes, I agree that humans will act the same with aliens, ie. Use violence to fight for "our" planet that we happen to be doing a good job of destroying all by ourselves anyway 🙄
I've seen it three times now, and it's just as good. What gets me is just how arrogant the earthling leaders are--no manners. You come in peace, but we're gonna treat you like an enemy.
I’ve seen;the day the earth 🌍 stood still,also!It’s an excellent film 🎥 from the early 1950”s!It was based on a book 📕 by an English author,I think?He could’ve also been an American,too!
"The scientific development of your planet has developed more than your emotional and intellectual powers." Truer words were never spoken. The kids have discovered the matches -- and gun powder.
_"vraisemblable"_ , vous dites? Désolé mais le texte est un peu nul, même pour l'époque. Un des personnages prétend que le véhicule qui arrivera le lendemain avec la délégation Vénusienne aura parcouru _"des millions d'années-lumières"_ . Ce qui ne fait aucun sense puisque le système solaire ne fait qu'une demi année lumière, et que Vénus est la planète la plus proche de nous. Même il y a 70 ans, on savaient exactement où était notre planète voisine.

@@franciscotorres5780 You say it's only a film, after all, dismissing the inaccuracies and focussing on the message of the film. Which is fine for a fantasy, a drama, or something of the sort. But this is a science fiction film, and it is my view that if you want to use that word to describe your film, you need to earn it. It cannot be credible science-fiction if there is not a hint of real science in it. Characters being unaware of complex technologies is one thing, but characters who represent relatively educated people should not be spouting something with such confidence when the thing they are saying is completely and utterly false. The line I refer to was either written out of a desire to impress and manipulate the audience with hyperbole, or out of complete ignorance. I think it is ignorance. It was lazy and disrespectful for the film to just assume we would all pretend that it was ok for the writer to fail at his job!

I have to thank you for presenting this fine movie in 'color'! I watched it earlier in B/W. But, color brings all the home furnishings, plates on the shelves, wallpaper, etc. alive. (Most people do no have that many Cuckoo Clocks.) Even the antique electronic equipment looked new...🇺🇸 😎👍☕

Thanks to your channel and your colors I started re-appreciating the classics. I wanted to give you some feedback on the translated subtitles, they are excellent, above all because they are not always the literal transcription of the dialogues and this is good because in this way the translations don't risk being too long. What I would like to point out to you is the fact that subtitles that are split into two lines are translated line by line and therefore their understanding suffers. If I may advise you, I would only do subtitles on one line, so they should be better. Thanks again for your work.😊
Good one. Good actors who, with the director, made a rather dull story into an interesting and compelling one. Patricia Neal was a damn good actress. You could feel the attraction between them in the beginning. Helmut Dantine and she made the film. And Marigold Russel made the small part of Gretchen into a full character, her run-of-the-mill lines became gems. A really, meaningful and enjoyable movie. Thanks 🌎✨🛸
What a fantastically good film. The only goof is the "traveled thousands of light years to get here" line. Venus is an average of about four *light minutes* from earth.
why is it a goof? it's the chainsmoking human politician who says that. Politicians aren't exactly well-versed in, well, anything. The Venusian just says he's from Venus.
We are in the Twilight Zone now. Buckle up planet earth . ‘Non-human intelligence’: Schumer proposes stunning new UFO legislation Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), along with a bipartisan group of five other senators, introduced extraordinary legislation on July 13, suggesting that the U.S. government or private contractors may secretly possess recovered UFOs and “biological evidence of living or deceased non-human intelligence.” According to the legislation, “non-human intelligence” is defined as “any sentient intelligent non-human lifeform, regardless of nature or ultimate origin which may be presumed responsible for” UFOs. Rubio and Gallagher’s remarkable comments bolster two reports, citing MULTIPLE military, intelligence and private sector officials, that defense contractors possess MULTIPLE CRAFT of “ NON-HUMAN” origin."
Funny. We are able to receive internet on Venus and we watched this earthlings film in our Earth culture festival. Very romantic. This help us in Venus (which we call Groump) to understand human mentality, and this is the reason why we do not contact you.
This a cross between THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, and the Devil Girl From Mars. Actually not bad. And I was surprised to see Patricia Neal in it, who was the one who spoke to Gort! A good intellectual study. I enjoyed it! Then again, I like cold meatloaf with mayonaise.
Good movie. Rather slow moving but interesting, nonetheless. I always like to find little things about movies that make them special other than the acting, story, and plot. In this case, I find it interesting that Patricia Neal also starred in "The Day the Earth Stood Still" which comes from the same premise as this movie.
Great acting by the beautiful Patricia Neal. Loved the tweed suits worn by the civilians, just don't know why the Venusian didn't fix the cuckoo clocks...could have done it in a heartbeat. Oh yeah, no pulse.
Hi @anneschmitt8461 ! So glad you enjoyed it!! You can always check the description box in any of our films for the colorized version. If we have it, you'll find the link there. Cheers!
I often lament that I've seen all the old science fiction movies, what with having been watching them for probably 55 years, but occasionally I discover that one slipped past me. I don't know how I've never seen this one before, but what a great find. Thanks for posting it.
Loved this movie, such wise choices by those who could effect the outcome. So true that our science and technology is outrunning our own perspective on life, humanity and spiritual understanding of its negative consequences in the wrong hands. The recent 2023 maui fires caused by satelite DEW weapons belonging to Norad, supposedly the planets protective command shows how greed and control by those in power can work against humanity for there own agenda and gain.
A good film. In terms of producing the message, better than "The Day the Earth Stood Still", more explaining the whole reason for preventing Earth to use atomcis stupidly. Change the Earth's orbit, thereby upsetting the solar system, thereby threatening the entire solar system. A novel idea, but not crazy. Some scientific facts wrong, but it's a movie. Talent? A good cast. And Gretchen (Marigold Russell, her name reminds me of Honeysuckle Weeks from Foyle's War, what is it the British have about naming talent after flowers?) did a good job, a number of nuances in her acting came through.
We live in a time when the German Foreign Minister, Mrs Baerbock, is dealing with people who live 100,000 km (60,000 miles) away from Germany, two-thirds the distance to the moon! She really gets around.
And how far away it is. Someone said they're travelling millions of light years to reach Earth, (from Venus), 😮😮😮 The Sun is only 93 million miles away.😅😂
@@ShiddyFinkelstein I didn't express myself very well indeed. I was surprised to realise that scientists had no idea at the time that Venus was a hell hole rather than a paradise, how much we have learnt about our sister planet since that film was made.

Nice to watch a film with no special effects, just plain acting and a good story.
The most popular actors and actresses of our day don't have nearly enough talent to pull a film like this off without relying on special FX.
A surprising film the absence of FX makes it a better film.
Fake back drops and lighting was special effects in those days.
It's full of effects all films have them

Proof that a great film can be made without a multi-million dollar budget and out of this world cgi. Refreshing.
What a privilege to see this film for the first time knowing what we know about the real visit by inhabitants of Venus and elsewhere...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), along with a bipartisan group of five other senators, introduced extraordinary legislation on July 13, suggesting that the U.S. government or private contractors may secretly possess recovered UFOs and “biological evidence of living or deceased non-human intelligence.” According to the legislation, “non-human intelligence” is defined as “any sentient intelligent non-human lifeform, regardless of nature or ultimate origin which may be presumed responsible for” UFOs.
Rubio and Gallagher’s remarkable comments bolster two reports, citing MULTIPLE military, intelligence and private sector officials, that defense contractors possess MULTIPLE CRAFT of “ NON-HUMAN” origin."
Funny. We are able to receive internet on Venus and we watched this earthlings film in our Earth culture festival. Very romantic. This help us in Venus (which we call Groump) to understand human mentality, and this is the reason why we do not contact you.
Really enjoyed this film and the colourization was great.
Thanks Paul! Glad you enjoyed the color version! @paulmorris5166
Reminds me of The day the earth stood still. 🛸🛸🛸🛸
Very Good Flick! defnitely worth watching...in 2023.
Low budge version of the day the earth stood still still. They even got Patricia Neil to play the main character.
Ms. Neil is a classic (and classy) actress.
This a cross between THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, and the Devil Girl From Mars. Actually not bad. And I was surprised to see Patricia Neal in it, who was the one who spoke to Gort! A good intellectual study. I enjoyed it! Then again, I like cold meatloaf with mayonaise.
Me too 😊

After the UAP hearings today, this is more documentary than Science Fiction. 😮😮😮😮
beware of deception : They have deceived man for many many years!
Very beautiful ending.
I remember watching this on late night TV back in the mid or late 1960s.
Great movie. Only meant to watch the beginning, but got hooked on it. Great acting!
I did the same exact thing.😅
Good movie. Rather slow moving but interesting, nonetheless. I always like to find little things about movies that make them special other than the acting, story, and plot. In this case, I find it interesting that Patricia Neal also starred in "The Day the Earth Stood Still" which comes from the same premise as this movie.
I find is almost shameful really, that Patricia took part in this movie, which was a sort of ripoff of The Day the Earth Stood Still.
@curbozerboomer1773 art is always imitating itself - cinema, music and books are always borrowing and sharing tropes.
Another big Helmut Dantjne movie. ❤
Mrs Miniver!
Great acting by the beautiful Patricia Neal. Loved the tweed suits worn by the civilians, just don't know why the Venusian didn't fix the cuckoo clocks...could have done it in a heartbeat. Oh yeah, no pulse.
Super ce film ! Tellement plus subtil que les grosses machines hollywoodiennes. C'est un film d'initié et la stupidité humaine n'a pas changé !
Had no idea what to expect. It was wonderful. Thanks for sharing this movie.
2:00... "We now continue with our musical program."
(With that snappy music I could just drive all night.)

@@thraciangrapes Yay, high priests and inquisitors!
Patricia Neal was wonderful as the mother in the Walton's Christmas story The Homecoming.
She was even better in "The Terminator" and the sequel.
Thank you very much for these gems. And in color. 👍👍👍
11:40 She from *"The Day The Earth Stood Still."*
Patricia Neal, passed away August 8, 2010.
Must say, this is the most perfect recolouration (If it is) Ive ever seen... Nice vintage Memory, thx so much for this!
Hi @anneschmitt8461 ! So glad you enjoyed it!! You can always check the description box in any of our films for the colorized version. If we have it, you'll find the link there. Cheers!
Good film. I thought at first it was an old favourite but it turned out to be a different take on it that I hadn`t seen before, even better.
A nice touching Movie !
OMG, how have I never heard of this? Love to all Venusians 🥰❤️❤️
All communications are telepathic first...
Indeed!
wonderful how easily these films are made, plain and simple.
"There are only two possibilities: I am drunk or you are dead!"
Sherlock Holmes he ain't.
Thanks for uploading the film!!
With a young Patricia Neil, excellent!
I often lament that I've seen all the old science fiction movies, what with having been watching them for probably 55 years, but occasionally I discover that one slipped past me. I don't know how I've never seen this one before, but what a great find. Thanks for posting it.
i havent seen this in forever. sad ending...ever notice how much Patricia Neal and Captain Janeway from Star Trek Voyager look alike even sound alike?
This is a nice 👍 film,simple,for it’s story telling,and,I’d ever say;relaxing here!A nice film from;1954!
Loved this movie, such wise choices by those who could effect the outcome. So true that our science and technology is outrunning our own perspective on life, humanity and spiritual understanding of its negative consequences in the wrong hands.
The recent 2023 maui fires caused by satelite DEW weapons belonging to Norad, supposedly the planets protective command shows how greed and control by those in power can work against humanity for there own agenda and gain.
OUTSTANDING : o ..... Creativity, story telling and colorization ; ) .....
A good film. In terms of producing the message, better than "The Day the Earth Stood Still", more explaining the whole reason for preventing Earth to use atomcis stupidly. Change the Earth's orbit, thereby upsetting the solar system, thereby threatening the entire solar system. A novel idea, but not crazy. Some scientific facts wrong, but it's a movie. Talent? A good cast. And Gretchen (Marigold Russell, her name reminds me of Honeysuckle Weeks from Foyle's War, what is it the British have about naming talent after flowers?) did a good job, a number of nuances in her acting came through.
Earth does atand still
What a great movie!❤
I love the part where Gretchen pulls on the door twice! "Hey, it's locked!"
Wasn't that supposed to go on the blooper reel?
She did save the scene.
Somewhat entertaining. Out of all the ridiculous things, the most was when he said the man had traveled millions of light years
We live in a time when the German Foreign Minister, Mrs Baerbock, is dealing with people who live 100,000 km (60,000 miles) away from Germany, two-thirds the distance to the moon! She really gets around.
Какие классные машины в ретро-фильмах 40-70 гг
Excellent film good old fashioned expressions.I like the way he keeps going to bed and everyone says good night.
Good movie, thanks CCC!
Great "B" movie and even better in color. Thaks a lot. Aug. 20, 2023
Glad you enjoyed the colorized version! You have plenty more to enjoy on CCC. Cheers!
amazing to think how little of Venus atmosphere they knew at that time.
@@grayhand860 A great place for vegetation if it were not so darn hot.
And how far away it is. Someone said they're travelling millions of light years to reach Earth, (from Venus), 😮😮😮
The Sun is only 93 million miles away.😅😂
@@tedscott1478 ah, yes, I laughed when I heard this comment 🤭
Why is it amazing?
@@ShiddyFinkelstein I didn't express myself very well indeed. I was surprised to realise that scientists had no idea at the time that Venus was a hell hole rather than a paradise, how much we have learnt about our sister planet since that film was made.
Very poignant and beautifully done.
Patricia Neal (or O’Neal as was sometimes the case) was excellent, as I feel she always was.
Oh Wow! Thanks for posting this! Nothin like these old 50’s Sci Fi’s. You can tell it’s SciFi cause Patricia Neil is even pretty (well Almost) lol was she ever really that Young?! ✌️
I guess you never saw “ The Fountain Head” with her and Garry Cooper,
CCC, it is so good to see that you're still on here. I haven't had an alert/notification/email about your channel for more than two years. I just checked, and yes, I am still subscribed and have the bell turned on. I just assumed that you weren't doing the RUclips thing anymore. The two things I really liked about your channel were the great movies that you put on and the knowledge of both you and your followers. Several times, I went to the comment section because I was searching for the title of a movie that I had forgotten, and you/they nailed it every single time. I'm happy to see that you're still up and at it.
Ohhh Noooo!!! it sounds like you have not been praising the RUclips algorithm??
🙏 "All hail the algorithm" 🙏
Happy to hear you are a fan, and yes nothing has changed on planet C³, so i suspect the algorithm thinks your tastes and interests have changed... So don't forget to smash the like 👍 here and there when you see a movie you really dig!
Neal won the academy award for best actress in Hud with Paul Newman
From a simpler time and the pace was slower... we have so much to learn.
The Venusian could say everything he says in this movie today and it would all still be true.
