Trivia
This is the only one of Ray Harryhausen's films to be shot in anamorphic widescreen (2.35:1) due to the higher cost of anamorphic camera and projection lenses needed for his Dynamation Process.

Errores
Arnold Bedford invests money in boots from the Boer War, speaking as if this war is in the past. Most viewers think he is talking about the Boer War of 1899-1902, which began after this scene takes place. However, there was an earlier, less-publicized Boer War in 1880 and 1881, which could be what he is referring to.

Citas
The Grand Lunar: You say men cling to different tongues and beliefs. Is there no one ruler?
Joseph Cavor: No. No, every century some despot tries, but up to now no one's succeeded. People like Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Napoleon...
The Grand Lunar: Does this not lead to confusion?
Joseph Cavor: Yes, it does. And worse. Starvation... hostility... even war.
The Grand Lunar: Tell me of war.
Joseph Cavor: Tell you of war? Oh my goodness... Well... it usually starts with a whacking great explosion.

"I claim the Moon in the name of our sovereign Queen Victoria!"

When retro sci-fi became all the rage due to the fifties craze for Jules Verne it was only a question of time before H. G. Wells got the same treatment.

Embellished by special effects by Ray Harryhausen for whom 'The First Men in the Moon' marked a rare excursion into science fiction - although the Selenites recall his mythical creatures - Kennedy having only recently made his pledge to set a man on the moon by the end of the decade; the fulfilment of which then seemed just within reach.

When Wells published his original book in 1901 even George Melies hadn't yet launched his rocket to the moon, and the idea seemed really cutting edge; although Cavor's spaceships and spacesuits are more like a bathysphere and diving suits.

NOTE FOR PEDANTS: The film has replaced the book's bleak original ending with the famous twist that concluded 'The War of the Worlds'.
