Just watched this film on TCM. I stayed with it because as the summary above says i am a sucker for old sci-fi films. But I swear over half this movie is long shots of the stars walking thru an estate in dim light. Although it appears to be a beautiful house and gardens, the day for night filter on the camera lens(and perhaps the print quality I saw) made this a less than enjoyable experience. that being said, there are far better "mars invades earth" films from that era and before. As one previous reviewer commented, we should make allowances for the tech available during the 50's and 60's. I do respect that. But a bad movie still stands out whatever it's current technology. This is a bad movie.
