Young Peter Graves is at least as good in the starring role as in the TV series, Mission: Impossible. So, that should tell you something about the movie. Well done. Actually - it's a movie and a well done movie is often better than a TV series. Since I among many others enjoyed the TV series (which is unrelated to the story in this movie) ... I'm saying the movie is well done.
Pictures of the rather young Stalin are on the walls in offices in the Moscow; so the movie directly confronts ... Read More

I saw this film during the single week that it remained on the bill of one of the theaters in my old neighborhood, the old Victoria. It was on the bottom half of a double bill with some western or Joan Crawford tearjerker that my parents wanted to see. I was nine years old.
In my immature judgement, it seemed to me to be the most blatant piece of pietistic claptrap and balderdash I had ever seen on any screen--and that was after being exposed to the duck-and-cover extravaganzas regularly ... Read More

Just by chance,I caught most of"RedPlanet Mars" oncable.it was a scary experience, mostly because the portrayalof unreasoniing panic by the societies shown seemed very much the way i elieve people would act.

"RedPlanet Mars" accidentally or intentionally anti-Soviet propaganda, and it is effective cinema ... Read More

The movie was made in a time when everyone was into the red scare. A common urban family has the means and knowledge to build a device (from public domain information before the internet) to transmit to a 1952 version of Mars.
Using a new hydrogen technology transmitter Chris Cronyn (Peter Graves) sends a message to Mars; a message appears to return. The content disrupts economics and supports the concept of theocracies over democracies (Iran is an example of a theocracy).

An interesting mix of scifi and religion, along the lines of "The next Voice You Hear". I saw this film recently on video. A radio transmission is received from Mars, supposedly being the voice of God. if I remember it correctly, this results in the eastern block getting religion and the overthrow of Communism. This movie is fascinating because it is a reversal of usual scifi fare, even during the 1950s. Usually, these films portray America as the country which needs talking to, and Americans being the people ... Read More
