Anecdotes
This film was so low budgeted that, instead of hiring a voice specialist to do the narration, it was done by the director, Fred F. Sears.

Gaffes
When the "element 112" sample exploded inside the small globe, it was immediately and obviously followed by a blast from explosives buried in the ground under the globe.

Citations
Dr. David Conway: We better do more than hope, gentlemen. We better pray!

amusing low budget props, but above average plot line for 50's....

Entertaining typical 50's sci-fi low budget offering with slightly above average plot line for the time.

However, particularly amusing are scenes in the military command aircraft which used card tables and folding chairs in front of mock-up aircraft porthole windows.
