Peter Graves was a natural actor. He was so smooth in the delivery of his lines and comfortable in front of the camera. At least that's how he appeared. Mission Impossible was the same way.
I was born in 1959 and have never seen this movie. This is definitely NOT what I thought it was going to be. Young Peter Graves was so awesome to watch, what an great movie🥹
Peter Graves and James Arness; brothers who served during WW2. Both went into acting...Peter mostly in SciFy movies and James in westerns. James first role was "The Thing" in the original movie in the 1950s. Both good decent men when Hollywood actually had decent men.
"There is a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the US populace which is extremely unethical and immoral. We are most definitely not alone."- 36-year-old David Grusch has served in the Air Force for 14 years and is a decorated Afghanistan combat officer who had earlier worked with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).
I am from the 50s and loved Sci-Fi. How did I miss this excellent movie? This had an excellent story-line. I'm kind of proud of that era now when I see this movie
It is interesting how films of this era inevitability produce a much higher level of discussion and civilization than dialogue today. The characters are more courteous, better dressed and more sophisticated too. Where is the vulgarity? None. Where is the gratuitous violence? None.
...yeah? Have you heard of immorality, and vulgarity sells tickets..."You Ever Seen A Grown Man Naked?"...that was one of Peter Graves lines in 'Airplane'... Robert Stacks had a FEW of his own.🤣👍

THESE SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES FROM THE 50'S AND 60'S ARE GREAT. PETER GRAVES, BROTHER OF JAMES ARNESS. I REMEMBER HIM FROM THE "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE " SERIES FROM THEMID 60'S.
@@paulrichards2365 Schiaparelli first reported 'canali', which translates as 'channels' but was mistranslated as 'canals'. Percival Lowell built an observatory above Flagstaff, AZ over 125 years ago just to look for the 'canali'. We now know that people often see what they wish, mirage or no.
I have no problem with world peace and everyone getting along. That would be a joy. However, one must realize that religions have cost more wars and lives than all of the worst plagues and catastrophes ever.
Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land? Captain Oveur: I can't tell. Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor. Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.
Peter is not known as a star of science fiction movies like Agar or Carlson but you could make a point that he could be, red planet Mars, killers from space. It conquered the world, beginning of the end come to mind.
I also liked old, reliable, Kenneth Toby, always the man in uniform : The Thing...., It Came From Beneath the Sea, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, X - 15, etc.
@Puss-n-Boots speaking of the beast , why cast an unknown like Paul Christian in the lead , he brings nothing and is not well known . Makes more sense to Kenneth T in the lead.
Paul Christian, also known as Paul Hubschmid was a Swiss actor and, as you say, not well known but competent. He was pretty weak in The Beast...and any number of American actors could have played the scientist with greater aplomb. Kenneth Toby was already cast as the commander of the Army forces. I also like the sharpshooter, in a bit part, who delivers the isotope into the monster : Lee Van Cleef.@@randyacuna5643

Actor who played Dr Mitchell (Lewis Martin) seems to like being in Films about Mars as he was also in the 1953 version of "War of the Worlds" as Pastor Dr. Matthew Collins.
Watching this reminds me of the 1950s I grew up in. Nothing of the 50s is lost if we remember scripture. Exodus 14:14 comes to mind seeing today's evil. They say, "Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord that He has provided for you today; for the Egyptians that you see today, you will never ever see again." I think it safe to occasionally replace "egyptians" with Karens, crypto currency , or other things. Be well, my friend. God bless🎉😊🙏❤
This movie is truly underrated for its time. The meaning behind making first contact is deep and makes you think about humanity. Just to let you know, the movie Contact Staring Joedy Foster is based on this movie.
The old Percival Lowell "Mars canals" wacky idea still in vogue in 1952? Mind you, it wasn't until Mariner 4 flew past Mars in July 1965 that this idea and the even crazier idea of intelligent Martians - was finally put to rest.
This movie is definitely a relic of the Cold War propaganda from the Red Scare in the early 1950s and the blacklist of writers who did not toe the line. Interesting to watch it in that context.
07:00 Listen to what she says about living in fear all of our lives... Old movies are more than just "old movies"... listen to them talking about "going to Mars"...we have been told "we are going to Mars in the next 2 years" for the last 70 years...
Interesting movie. I remember watching this when I was a young child. Yep all a political tug of war nonsense, not brave enough to share anything really worthwhile ….all about manipulating, greed, money and war mongering, so sad it still happening today …😥😥😥😥
Surprise! Color film was rare and expensive even as late as the ‘50’s… color TV’s were rare (and expensive) well into the mid-60’s. So a more-limited budget film would highly likely be shot in B&W.
The natural sequel would be like late medieval Europe, as each religion, with all their denominations, begin squabbling over who has the right to intrepret God, and denounce others as heretics. That's human nature: A lust for power and dominance despite great advice to the contrary.
Boy - hokey as it is, given how slick moviemaking has become in the last 70 years - this movie sets a hook in your heart. Even an old grizzled coot like me still has a glimmer of faith somewhere deep beneath the leathery skin. It's worth keeping in mind, in this age of science, that the pervasive existence of religion among mankind would not exist if there were not some competitive advantage conferred on the believers over those with no such belief. Every animal and plant evolves in competition; every feature - beak, claw, sharp eye - is there because its possessor is better for it, and a better survivor of the challenges of existence. Religion is not here by chance - even from a purely scientific viewpoint, it MUST confer a survival advantage, or it would have disappeared like tails and fur from our bodies. Universal truths simply persist against all attempts to deny them.
Evolution is rubbish, that right there is where disbelief begins. What foolishness to believe that the atomic genetic structure of a reptiles scales can change to become the atomic genetic structure of a feather. There are and have been many thousands of famous scientists that were inspired by Gods Word to discover so much. How could a bee that, depending upon the time of year only lives such a short period possibly evolve? The astounding complexity of a creature that knows how to identify EXACT geographical locations and pass that detailed information on to others in an equally astounding 'dance' is so far fetched it IS science fiction. How did that info get passed on? How did that dance develop? How did the next generation of bee develop the skill to decipher that dance? All this without surviving long enough to even 'evolve' how to procreate. The human ability to procreate is mind bogglingly complex. Even a so-called simple cell is truly deeply incredible. That cell needs the ability to pass on information within itself, order needed nutrients etc, deliver them to another location within that cell. A comparison to that cell would be perhaps an industrial city. I challenge you to look right into it.
This film leaves a lot of clues as why governments are reluctant to go with full disclosure on the UAP subject. And I have a guess it won't happen soon...
I don't quite understand why the world went to pieces because of what the Martians were doing? If my neighbour no longer needed to take the train because be bought a car, I would still take the train as required, wouldn't I? Then it all made less and less sense as it got religious. Entertaining but confusing.
@@Spiritgumm which bit would make more sense? PS, I did have the volume up. The Martians have ways of producing energy that we don't, so we stop producing energy? Which bit of this makes sense?
@@timsmith5339 I agree. It's not like they already have any new technology up and running or the demand for materials and goods suddenly wasn't there. People still need food, heating, housing, transportation etc etc.
I cannot emphasis strongly enough how much this film affected me as a child. I was born in 1952. Just as the film has portrayed, the evil Soviet Empire has fallen and the Russian Federation is a nation of the Russian Orthodox Church, not Marxism. I am a scientist who believes. I fell for the message of the goodness of the USA that I no longer believe, unless we finally realize that we are responsible for the problems we face. Not Russia, China or some fictional devil. We did not eat of the fruit of the tree of good and evil, we are that fruit for we hold within ourselves the seeds of good and evil. God did not give us free will, we grow it on our own. It is our choice to make between life and death. Ours and nobody else's. God just wants us to be happy in my opinion. Time to realize that childhood ends and adult choices must be made. God Bless Us All
??? You say God bless but deny his existence? Then you say he wants us to be happy. Sheesh talk about Captain Contradiction. God IS real, the devil most certainly is. You're right about NOT eating from the tree of Good and evil but we did eat from the tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil. God gave us His Word on how we should behave and we CHOOSE to obey or ignore. We do make bad even evil choices. We are born with sin within, just look at how innocent children can be very disobedient. I pray that you seek Jesus with all your heart. You WILL be stunned.
The species known as humans are still infants in the Cosmos. They are dangerous creatures which have a long way to go before they can be considered civilized. So far, and mostly because of religions, they still insist on trying to wipe themselves out of existence. If they do not do so soon then there may be a chance that they will be allowed to roam among the stars. That has yet to be determined.
What was your fist clue Captain Obvious? LOL Yeah! You hit the nail squarely upon the head! The communists in control of HollyWOKE wouldn't touch this with a 37-1/2 foot pole!
Wow!!! Whatever the story line was, actually fits this time. maybe people should watch this movie lots of religious Bible verses mentioned. A movie between good and evil.
Thing about these scientists is they always seem to think some superior alien race will happily share their secrets with them instead of capturing them and anally probing them....
I always wonder what it would be like if aliens really come down and visit. Do you think a lot of people will become unhinged? Or do people go about their Daly activities
If they can travel light years to get here, we would be insects to them. In other words, we're toast. Or they would figure out there's no intelligent life here and move on. Cheers from Tennessee
@@josephmushatt4199 Economics is emotion. The mere threat of energy prices dropping or skyrocketing, as well as pensions being paid until the pension firm is bankrupt creates stress and emotional reactions that lead to people making bad decisions. Those bad decisions lead to bank runs, work stoppages, etc... Ha the Martians given that technology to us all those things would have come to pass. That is what the turmoil was all about.

"Fury"
The story of a horse and the boy who loved him. Nope never saw it😂
Peter Graves made a tv series in Australia called Whiplash, about the stagecoach company Cobb & Co. I remember it well.
Where did they get that big flat screen TV in 1952? 🙂
Hollywood projections from behind. Not too hard to do, really.
What an odd movie, Graves trips and they didn't re shoot, scene included twice, very strange.
That's intentional. His older son didn't put the lawn mower away, Dad trips on it, and gives the son an earful.
At the end, the poor older kid, he doesn’t feel so lucky, he just lost his mom & dad.
What a classic!
Great movie !
George A. Romero's 1968 "Night of the Living Dead's" Opening Intro,
shares quite a few similarities with Harry Horner's "Red Planet Mars". 🍁
Great video 👍💯😊 what if it did happen 🥴👽
It's interesting how happy the kids looked after they lost both parents.
A precursor to Jodie Foster's 1997 movie "Contact!"
More accurately, Carl Sagan’s story…Foster just starred in it. Writers don’t get enough credit.
Why haven’t I seen this movie before?
I don't quite understand why the world went to pieces because of what the Martians were doing? If my neighbour no longer needed to take the train because be bought a car, I would still take the train as required, wouldn't I? Then it all made less and less sense as it got religious. Entertaining but confusing.
Sounds like you should rewatch the movie, this time with the volume on.
@@Spiritgumm which bit would make more sense? PS, I did have the volume up. The Martians have ways of producing energy that we don't, so we stop producing energy? Which bit of this makes sense?
@@timsmith5339
I agree.
It's not like they already have any new technology up and running or the demand for materials and goods suddenly wasn't there.
People still need food, heating, housing, transportation etc etc.
The movie was packed with religious propaganda. It was sickening! But I suppose that it was pretty much mandatory in 1952 to be publicly pious.
I had the same reaction. Those shifty Martians were able to collapse our industry without even face-to-face contact? Sure.
I cannot emphasis strongly enough how much this film affected me as a child. I was born in 1952. Just as the film has portrayed, the evil Soviet Empire has fallen and the Russian Federation is a nation of the Russian Orthodox Church, not Marxism. I am a scientist who believes.
I fell for the message of the goodness of the USA that I no longer believe, unless we finally realize that we are responsible for the problems we face. Not Russia, China or some fictional devil. We did not eat of the fruit of the tree of good and evil, we are that fruit for we hold within ourselves the seeds of good and evil. God did not give us free will, we grow it on our own. It is our choice to make between life and death. Ours and nobody else's. God just wants us to be happy in my opinion. Time to realize that childhood ends and adult choices must be made.
God Bless Us All
??? You say God bless but deny his existence? Then you say he wants us to be happy. Sheesh talk about Captain Contradiction. God IS real, the devil most certainly is. You're right about NOT eating from the tree of Good and evil but we did eat from the tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil.
God gave us His Word on how we should behave and we CHOOSE to obey or ignore. We do make bad even evil choices. We are born with sin within, just look at how innocent children can be very disobedient. I pray that you seek Jesus with all your heart. You WILL be stunned.
The species known as humans are still infants in the Cosmos. They are dangerous creatures which have a long way to go before they can be considered civilized. So far, and mostly because of religions, they still insist on trying to wipe themselves out of existence. If they do not do so soon then there may be a chance that they will be allowed to roam among the stars. That has yet to be determined.
i HAVE A Movie called WAR OF THE WORLDS filmed in 1953 AND THE ACTOR GENE BARRY is in it AND i HAVE This movie ON DVD AND it's A GREAT ONE
Why do you keep shouting? Roo ...
One day, there will be a new beginning! 😊
Yeah. After the whole world is blown to smithereens! All that will be left is an string of orbital debris that use to be a planet.
You would never see a movie like this made in the United States today.
What was your fist clue Captain Obvious? LOL Yeah! You hit the nail squarely upon the head! The communists in control of HollyWOKE wouldn't touch this with a 37-1/2 foot pole!
Wow!!! Whatever the story line was, actually fits this time. maybe people should watch this movie lots of religious Bible verses mentioned. A movie between good and evil.
Thing about these scientists is they always seem to think some superior alien race will happily share their secrets with them instead of capturing them and anally probing them....
We would never give anybody anything. 😂. It’s amazing to me that we would expect anything. Just being human I guess
"To Serve Man":
"Mr. Chambers, don't get on that ship! The rest of the book, To Serve Man, it's... it's a cookbook!"
@@frankcavaciuti5947 🤣😂🤣😂 LOL!
Perfect analysis!
Why go to Mars? they anally probe here, and it is soon to be a requirement.
..Narcissists have substituted the word 'Science' for Mysticism, in order to underwrite tyranny...👎🏿👎🏿
The president looks like Eisenhower.
One of the greatest Presidents who ever lived...the inverse/opposite of "Brandon", who has destroyed America in the last 2yrs. 👎🏿👎🏿
Well that's who was president for most of the '50s.
I always wonder what it would be like if aliens really come down and visit. Do you think a lot of people will become unhinged? Or do people go about their Daly activities
Well they better buckle up because they’ve hidden them from us, whistleblowers are coming out of wood work and so many pics worldwide. We shall see!
If they can travel light years to get here, we would be insects to them. In other words, we're toast. Or they would figure out there's no intelligent life here and move on. Cheers from Tennessee
Advanced aliens have no reason to visit Earth.
If they landed in Scotland and saw the state of the government politicians and their policies......they would fly straight home again.....🥴🥴🥴
@@davidm9870 I'm of the opinion that they would not land because there's no intelligent life here.
The amount of adverts were far too many.
Graves, so young here
Quite a long time before _Airplane!_
James arness very versatile actor played just about every thing
At 21:06 you can hear the sample used for the Feq Nasty track 'boomin' back atcha'
The funny side of this is the death of the USSR started when JOHN PAUL 2 a Pole became pope
Hey thats the priest from War of the Worlds!
I've seen this movie only once previously and I still find it more than a bit hard to decipher.
Same here.What did the price of coal and the pentions have to do with all of the chaos??
Seems like an early attempt at one world propaganda with a certain agenda.
@@josephmushatt4199 Economics is emotion.
The mere threat of energy prices dropping or skyrocketing, as well as pensions being paid until the pension firm is bankrupt creates stress and emotional reactions that lead to people making bad decisions. Those bad decisions lead to bank runs, work stoppages, etc...
Ha the Martians given that technology to us all those things would have come to pass. That is what the turmoil was all about.
@@josephmushatt4199 see what caused the crash of 1929, & then you might understand.
Mission Impossible The tv series was awesome, I wanted to grow up & be part of a MI team !
43:00 Why are they calling BLM? How?
