Starring Jeff Morrow and Faith
Domergue
This Island Earth is based on the 1938 story "The
Alien
Machine" by Raymond F Jones. Intelligently directed by Joseph
Newman and
tautly written by Franklin Coen and Edward G. O'Callaghan, this
well-crafted
pic was considered by many critics as one of the best sci-fi
films of the
1950s. It deserves respect for looking so good in its
three-strip Technicolor
format, for not going the cheesy route as many other movies did,
and for making
valid subtle, yet pointed, comments about the Manhattan Project
(something few
if any sci-fi films dared to do at the time). Though inevitably
dated, it was a
tremendous box office success and has remained a geek cult
favorite. (From a
review by Dennis Schwartz, Ozus’ World Movie Reviews)
