Below is a list of classic space travel movies listed by the decades. For this original publication I am including classic space travel movies from the 1950 What ocean is the second largest ocean in the world? Pacific; If you’re in England and someone says they need to get petrol, what do they need to get? The Last Drive In. BUD & LOU, CAT- WOMEN, JEKYLL & HYDE, HOSTILE BRAINS and HOSTILE MARTIANS. Starring those 2 brilliant comedians Budd Abbott and Lou Costello, as Lester and Orville. With Mari Blanchard as Allura, Robert Paige as Dr. Wilson, Horace Mc. Mahon as Mugsy, Martha Hyeras Janie Howe, Jack Kruschen as Harry, Jean Willes as Capt. Olivia and Anita Ekberg as a Venusian guard. From Keep Watching the Skies by Bill Warren –“To children in the 1. Abbott and Costello movie was better than a trip to the circus.”We all noticed that Bud Abbottwas the straight man and Lou Costello was the mechanism to draw out the comic gags. At times Bud even came across as Warren says, “cruel” to Lou and I know for me it made me a bit uncomfortable even back then. Lou was lovable and wasn’t considered an idiot, but rather like a little boy trapped in a man’s body. Again I cite Bill Warren who sums it up beautifully- “His curiosity and haplessness got him into trouble and assured that he would stay there, but the film’s essential unreality always made us feel that Lou and Bud would be out of problems by the end. Of course the story’s title indicates that they take a trip to Mars, when the pair accidentally launch one of the rockets with them on board! They take a short trip, a very short trip as unbeknownst to Lester and Orville they haven’t landed on Mars, but in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. So when the outlandish and bizarre costumes parade around the duo, they have no reason not to think they’ve landed on another planet. The two criminals hide away on the spaceship equip with paralyzer guns and lots of science fiction gadgets. And it gets launched yet again with our two characters Lester and Orville. This time they are heading for Venus. To go with this silly gendered plot line you’ll have to take it that Venus is run by a Matriarch name Queen Allura (Mari Blanchard)Allura has banished all the men from the planet 4. King had been unfaithful to her. She also falls in love with Orville. Lou has eyes for Anita Ekberg (who wouldn’t. Queen Allura finds out that Lou is also unfaithful . The passengers of the renegade ship manage to get away and crash land back on Earth. The film also co- stars Robert Paige as Dr. Wilson, Martha Hyer as Janie Howe, and Jean Willesas Captain Olivia. Cape Coral History began in 1957 when two brothers from Baltimore, Leonard and Jack Rosen, flew over the peninsula known as Redfish Point, across. Johnny Depp will co-star in the \'Fantastic Beasts\' Sequel, and Johnny also makes a cameo in the first movie released on Nov. From Hollywood Reporter: \'The actor. I was thrilled to be invited by Rick to join in the terror-ific festivities for this Halloween season with the TERROR TV BLOGATHON hosted by Classic TV Blog Association.
In Jim Mulholland’s The Abbott and Costello Book he talks about the film, “The futuristic sets on Venus look expensive , but the film is so silly and is so obviously geared to kiddie matinee audiences that it is almost impossible to endure.”Well if the adult child in you still adores seeing the antics of Bud & Lou then it should be included in their list of films you want to see. Mary Blanchard as Queen Allura. Anita Ekberg as a Venusian Guard. Venusian #1: “What is it?”Allura: “I could be wrong, but I think it’s a man.”Venusian #2: “That’s a man?”Again directed by Charles Lamont. Lee Loeb and John Grant wrote the screenplay working from a story by Sid Fields, based off the character from Robert Louis Stevenson’s immortal science- fiction fantasy novel. With camera work by cinematographer George Robinson (Son of Frankenstein 1. Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman 1. Tarantula 1. 95. 5)With make up both Mr. Hyde and the mouse mask by Bud Westmore! Our two heroes Slim and Tubby meet Boris Karloff as Dr. Hyde. Bud and Lou had already met Frankenstein, Dracula, the Invisible Man and The Wolf Man, it was just a matter of time until they met the conflicted dual personality of Dr. Jekyll and his darker alter ego Mr. It was the first time the boys came up against a monster since 1. Bud and Lou are American detectives who tag along Scotland Yard, and come to find out that that the menacing Mr. Hyde has been terrorizing London for years. Meanwhile the mild mannered Dr. Jekyll is one and the same man. Of course, Lou tries so hard to get Bud to believe that the kindly Dr. Jekyll is actually Hyde. The other players in the film include Craig Stevensas Bruce Adams a newspaper reporter who is in love with Vicky Edwards (Helen Wescott) which poses a problem as Dr. Jekyll himself is in love with Vicky as well. Bill Warren writes- “This romantic triangle is extremely artificial- Karloff at all time seems avuncular, not predatory- and was apparently added for the obligatory romantic elements, to enlarge the plot beyond Bud & Lou fleeing from Hyde.”The film shows as Warren points out a “series of set pieces” as they chase Hyde around a wax museum, filled with homages to other films like wax likenesses of the Frankenstein’s monster and Dracula. Sadly, the film was not well received, people had started to tire of the . Universal had actually been planning a Abbott and Costello Meet the Creature from the Black Lagoon but it never got off the ground. Craig Stevensco- stars as Bruce Adams, Helen Wescott as Vicky Edwards and Reginald Denny as the Inspector with John Dierkes as Batley. Slim: Now look! You can’t make two persons out of one. If there’s a monster, there’s a monster. But one can’t be the other. Tubby: Now listen Slim. All I know is that I locked up the monster and when I came back, Dr. You know I’m no magician.

Jack Evans, Lee Van Cleefas Corporal Stone, Steve Brodie as Sgt. Loomis, Ross Elliot as George Ritchie, Frank Ferguson as Dr. Morton and King Donovan as Dr. Ingersoll. A ferocious dinosaur awakened by an Arctic atomic test terrorizes the North Atlantic and, ultimately, New York City. The film begins when they are testing a nuclear device inside the Arctic Circle, which winds up freeing a prehistoric ! Tom Nesbitt played by Paul . Cecil Kellaway plays a well known paleontologist that Nesbitt seeks out for help. Now the Beast starts moving toward New York City believed to be the ancestral origin and breeding ground for the Rhedosaurus. It comes ashore on Manhattan, right near the Fulton Fish Market. Elson is lowered in a type of diving bell called a bathysphere so the paleontologist can study the creature up close. Unfortunately he becomes a tasty morsel, a hard candy with a soft center. What complicates things is that while it becomes wounded, they discover that it’s blood is highly infectious and deadly, so they need to find a way to destroy it even more than ever. The wounded Rhedosaurus takes refuge in an old fair ground on Coney Island near a roller coaster which it takes out it’s aggression on by snapping it like twigs in it’s massive jaws and claws. Prof. Man’s been walking upright for a comparatively short time. Mentally we’re still crawling.”George Ritchie: ! SEE: THE LOST CITY OF LOVE- STARVED CAT WOMEN! Directed by editor Arthur Hilton, who worked on noir classics. The film stars Sonny Tuftsas Laird Granger, Victor Jory as Kip Reissner, Marie Windsor as Helen Salinger, William Phipps as Doug Smith, Douglas Fowleyas Walt Walters, Carol Brewster as Alpha, Susan Morrow as Lambda, Suzanne Alexander as Beta, Cat- Woman are Bette Arlen, Roxann Delman, Ellye Marshalland Judy Walsh. From the moment they leave the base on route to the moon, the crew find themselves in trouble when a meteor creates trouble for the ship, a fire in the bottom of the craft started by acid forces them to land, suggested by Lt. Helen Salinger who is the ship’s navigator and Laird’s girlfriend. She picks the area in between the dark and light sides of the moon. This makes Kip very suspicious though he’s pretty skeptical about most things that’s why he carries a gun with him at all times. Don’t be too impressed with Windsor’s character playing a Lt, after they crash land she still has to grab for her compact and fix her face, and powder her nose. Marie Windsor (whom I adore) is sultry and perfectly suited for film noir (Force of Evil 1. The Sniper 1. 95. City that Never Sleeps 1. The Killing 1. 95. The Narrow Margin 1. She’s much better suited for the science fiction obscure gem that has it’s shocking moments, The Day Mars Invaded Earth (1. Helen leads the crew when they go out to investigate their surroundings and find a nearby cave, they realize that the atmosphere is exactly the same as it is on earth. There’s water and oxygen and so it is safe to take their space suits off. The gang is attacked suddenly by some cheesy hairy horned spiders which they manage to kill. In the meantime someone has stolen their spacesuits and helmets. They go deeper into the cave until they stumble onto an ancient Greekesque city inside the moon where they are greeted by women who look like a dance troupe for Martha Graham and Twyla Tharp in their black leotards. Helen slips away to meet Alpha (Brewster) the leader of the Cat- Women who are telepathic. They are called Cat- Women for no reason I can glean, or that emerges from the entirely silly narrative. Alpha tells Helen- “Our generation predates yours by centuries.” The Cat- Women led by Alpha (Carol Brewster) has been in telepathic communication with and controlling Lt. Helen Salinger for years, unbeknownst to the men in the crew. There are no men on the moon but Zeta (Alexander) explains, “We have no use for men.”Alpha tells Helen- “You are one of us now.”Alpha has been controlling Helen by imprinting an image of the moon, a white spot on her hand. Once this spot is covered it breaks the control over her. It’s not that the Cat- Women haven’t been enjoying their lives cavorting around with each other dancing and creeping around in their oh so Mod- erne leotards, it’s that their planet’s atmosphere is breaking up and in order to survive they must seek out a new planet. So the plan is to steal the crew’s rocket and go to Earth, c.
