\"\"<\/p>\n

A scientist (Joseph Cotton) and a millionaire arms dealer (George Sanders) team up on the construction of a rocket to blast themselves to the Moon. This movie was based on a Jules Verne classic — but it completely lacks the charm and the quality of `Journey to the Center of the Earth’ and `20,000 Leagues Under the Sea’.<\/p>\n

Even though the cast includes Morris Ankrum (the Grand Old Man of vintage sci-fi) to provide dignity, and Debra Paget to provide scenery (watch `Princess of the Nile’ and go quietly insane), it wasn’t enough to save this numbingly slow and unappealing film.<\/p>\n

Some of the special effects are astoundingly bad, considering the fair production standards. In the scenes of the blast-off, the supporting bar which holds up the rocket model is clearly visible! Fans of `Forbidden Planet’ will notice the heavy use of the `electronic tonalities’ borrowed from that classic. Directed by Byron Haskins, who did both `War of the Worlds’ and `The Conquest of Space’.<\/p>\n
