Using long coils of rope, the horse would then run not knowing that rope was tied to its two front legs. American Westerns would do the same cruel horse stunts - but were much better at hiding the ropes.
Yes,great old obscure film from a better time,or at least it seems that way,lol! But great stuff.also battle of the world's is a fine movie as well.pure nostalgia
I love it when the film shows a chemical-propelled rocket goldong enough fuel perhaps to reach orbit, and the announcer states that it is headed for another galaxy.
I think there might a time when spaceflight doesn't demand that you wear spacesuits every time you launch, or land , or go anywhere. Like for example in Gattaca - or even Star Trek. Only if you need to go outside on the surface of a moon or a planet with a poisonous atmosphere.
Was thinking the same thing. The clothes in this one look like prison jumpsuits! PLUS they were really optimistic about the spaciousness of their ships.
Wow! This translation from the original Esperanto has altered my consciousness. I'll never be the same again. Detecting the invisible sphere of intense heat has become my life's calling as I wander the stars with dearest Lucy.
It's 230 in the am and this popped up so I'm watching thought it would be just another B movie but I'm finding myself really enjoying this movie about space story is good acting is good thanks to the up loader for this GEM
I'll be honest, I got here from RUclips's autoplay. I was on acid and I let RUclips autoplay stuff. I started on short film animated movies and it ended up here so I watched the whole thing. No regrets.

It was so silly at the start I bailed out. By accident it popped up again a few months later and I watched the whole thing and really its A+! Sincere thanks for the upload!
This is by far the best copy of this movie I've ever seen, on RUclips or on DVD! Really great! It has nearly fine colors whereas the other available specimens of this picture are so poorly washed-out that they almost look like a black-and-white-movie.
the visual quality here is far above all of the others i have so far viewed on u tube. Its even better quality than the one i bought on DVD at Wal Mart in Honolulu.Nice to find this one! Thanks. Mr. Savage does add significant dimension to the flavor of the presentation.
Listen, ever since we came on this trip, you've all tried to make me feel like an outsider; even though I, as a completely useless passenger, have bent over backward to be cooperative and to keep a low profile. I even went so far as to clean out some of the excess rocket fuel...and where's the thanks I get? Gosh, sometimes I wish my father were not the director of NASA.
What I love is to watch one of those old space movies and when they launch, video of an early Atlas launch is used....and when the crew of 4 or 5 “astronauts” arrive in space.....they have multiple rooms and stories in their spaceship, racks upon racks of senseless electronic gear, four of five old Dumont Oscilloscopes (60 - 90 pounds each, showing meaningless sine waves and such). Each room on their spaceship has a 10 foot ceiling, they carry enough fuel to launch, travel to and then land on Venus or even Mars, and then fuel enough to re-launch back to Earth! Of course, one astronaut must die when they find the meaning of life, so there’s that weight savings. But on the other hand, one astronaut must be a girl, with immaculate makeup and hair no matter what their mission is, so that is a huge weight drag. In any case....that old Atlas sure was a versatile and capable booster!! We waisted money building the Saturn V, realizing it could have been easily done with only one Atlas!
i feel so blessed that I've been lucky enough to glimpse into our future of 2116, the lives of our children's children from 2023, to know what it will be like, the challenges they will face when we are no more of this world, peace, love and light to everyone in 2116 ❤👀
Never endured the film to the end. Al is my favorite character. '' Are you scared, son. You don't know nothin' , yet''. He's very nimble about the spaceship- h floats well. Mind the precious, priceless hydrazine though. The perils of space are shown through the eyes of idiots. Very instructive to future space exploration.
If you want to see how they visually interpreted the most advanced space travel knowledge and theory in 1960, this is the movie for you! If you compare it to today’s movies, you will be disappointed. When the movie came out, the worlds collective knowledge of real space travel at the time was animals shot into space were finally coming back alive. A few years earlier they finally figured our how to get a rocket back from space without burning up, something some thought was impossible. Transistor radios had just been out for a couple years vs tube radios. Digital audio was 20 years away. Digital video was almost 30 years away. Considering the lack of common knowledge on the subject in 1960, they did a great job with visually interpreting then modern advanced knowledge and theory!
You say that as if today we're flying around the universe! Remember the shuttle NEVER got into outer space, it basically flew very high. You could argue that more happened in these imaginative old movies.
Totally agree! I think the special effects were amazing for that time, even now they are wonderful for me! Brilliant story and class actors. Not like the “C“ film we have here which is classic crap, face it!
Think back to 1960, if you are old enough. All the things science didn't know or was not known to the general public. All the misconceptions of the public about space and such. Makes for an interesting movie. Also, look at the old tech in a spave movie lol.
Photons are essentially mass-less but they do have momentum and in that state they can produce pressure. Photons are waves and particles both. This has been proved by Scientists. I've always considered photons to be in a state called rest mass. Essentially in that state they do not exist. Once they are subjected to an electromagnetic field they become charged particles. Take a flashlight for example. When the flashlight is turned off they don't exist. When the flashlight is turned on, the photons become charged and provide the light that is emitted from the flashlight.
Notice that the stars are twinkling, they only do if you observe them from Earth. Caused by the diffusion of light by the molecular makeup of the atmospheric conditions.

You know what? In spite of all of it's shortcommings this is actually a surprisingly acurate movie as far as the sceince is concerned. A few examples: - They keep jabbering on about giro's. Stupid, ain't it? No it isn't! You can actually point the nose of your spaceship with the use of gyroscopes. - Since getting stuff into space with such technology is very expensive the insides of the ships are actually rather cramped, as they where / are in real life. - There is no cheap artificial gravity copp-out stuff here. When in the spaceships people move very carefully from beam to beam. Only when in the spacestation with the rotating core and on planets they move "normaly". How about that for good continuity! - Talking about continuity: Everybody of course understands that once in space all these ships are of reassembled into full 3 stage setups again. After the take of the ship's 3rd stage arrives at the space station. The commander then asks for the 2 replacement stages to be reattached and refueled before they leave! Check it if you don't believe me. It makes them able to carry much more fuel and you also never know if you have to restart from a planet with an Earth's strength gravity anyway. Since the rescue landing they make is however on Phobos, which is a small Mars Moon, they do not need to discard any of the new stages. See, it all adds up in the end! :-) - It's a pity they still use the old sound-in-space mistake though. Anthonio Margheriti , the director however corrected that in his next Sci Fi movie, called Battle Of The Worlds. Here an experimental electronic soundscape was dubbed over every external space shot. By the way: the very spaceship used here is blown up by aliens in that movie! - And yes, I am a total geek! :-)
Interesting how much research they did to try get space travel as accurate as all the space travel knowledge available at that time. Remember, late 1960 was the first time live animals shot into space returned to earth alive! And, they had to find ways to visually simulate what they thought was accurate. Well done!
Exciting finish. Gotta love the space suits and the simulated weightless walking by crew. I think film would have been better if there was actually less plot - details kinda overwhelming at times. Great color.
The embarked on a pretty long trip. The NEAREST galaxy to ours, Andromeda, is about 2.5 million lightyears away. So, even if they should travel at the speed of light it would take them almost an eternity to get there.

Good point kudos never picked it up
I've heard this done in many early British horror films and a few B grade American films. I'm a musician that's how I picked up on it. Also I have seen footage (whole towns, including the same Mexican bandits re-purposed in two different Spaghetti Westerns that were filmed three years apart. They clearly never imagined computers and that their films would be streamed freely. (So funny when you see the footage of the same town reused) While we are on the subject.

I did notice it on DESTINATION MOON. Ironically, AOS and DM are two of my very favorite old sci-fi flicks.
Are you kidding?! I thought I was the only elderly white lady who knew!

And when they walk along the outside of the spaceship in magnetic boots. What are they for? LOL.
Now that's a great sci f film! Its got it all. Tension, philosophy and great acting. Really enjoyed this film from another age!
This film is great for some that has insomnia. I guarantee it will put you to sleep in the first quarter.
You have to love all these old space movies where the astronauts go into space wearing street clothes, or a pair of overalls and a flight helmet.
I think there might a time when spaceflight doesn't demand that you wear spacesuits every time you launch, or land , or go anywhere. Like for example in Gattaca - or even Star Trek. Only if you need to go outside on the surface of a moon or a planet with a poisonous atmosphere.
Don't forget the rubber gloves !

'The Day the Earth Stood Still' is another classic....Not the stupid re-make.

The rocket ship is a modified plastic model kit of the old Lindberg Rocket from the late ‘50s. The kit is still available today.
Lol I built one as a kid in the late 60s then modify them with other models and stuff like that
Daniel Rodriguez Yeap I made an Little fying OVNI reduce scale model and many SW spaceships all handmade
The Lindberg Line is still around ?
In 1968, I had a little plastic rocket just like it on top of my Birthday Cake! It included as spring that launched the top capsule...💥
Cool! That's the spaceship from the game Mooncresta!
It’s also the same spaceship 🚀 from Walt Disney’s “Man in Space” from 1955.
Think back to 1960, if you are old enough. All the things science didn't know or was not known to the general public. All the misconceptions of the public about space and such. Makes for an interesting movie.

Interesting take on space travel. Photons are light waves that can't harm a flea, but it makes for good drama.
Never underestimate the photons. Gamma radiation consists of photons too.
Photons are essentially mass-less but they do have momentum and in that state they can produce pressure. Photons are waves and particles both. This has been proved by Scientists. I've always considered photons to be in a state called rest mass. Essentially in that state they do not exist. Once they are subjected to an electromagnetic field they become charged particles. Take a flashlight for example. When the flashlight is turned off they don't exist.

Great Movie! Themes of Love and Hope and Heroic Sacrifice. Well done!
I think this science-fiction movie was made in the 1950s and for that time this is like a nice movie science fiction movie that is.
It is December 17 when i tuned in this movie.
Interesting how much research they did to try get space travel as accurate as all the space travel knowledge available at that time. Remember, late 1960 was the first time live animals shot into space returned to earth alive! And, they had to find ways to visually simulate what they thought was accurate. Well done!
Exciting finish. Gotta love the space suits and the simulated weightless walking by crew. I think film would have been better if there was actually less plot - details kinda overwhelming at times. Great color.
Love it... don't ever remember seeing this before.....so bad it was goo
A black astronaut wow! Surprised he was in this movie during the 50’s. Great!
Yep, and he is the biggest hero of them all in the end by giving up his life and in the process pointing them towards the solution.
56:40 through 57:40 : One of the classic moments in science fiction...
I love the look on the co-pilots face.
@@robertthomas5196 LOL - it's priceless!
Robert Thomas Lol “What the hell is he talking about?”
The embarked on a pretty long trip. The NEAREST galaxy to ours, Andromeda, is about 2.5 million lightyears away. So, even if they should travel at the speed of light it would take them almost an eternity to get there.
LOVE THIS MOVIE!! FAVE CHARACTER, "AL"!!
