70-year-anniversary of Conquest of Space, George Pal’s follow-up to When Worlds Collide and The War of the Worlds. Box office disappointment restricting Pal’s future budgets and ambitions. Good assessment of movie. Depressing plot and tiresome comic relief. Ambitious special effects (judged a bit harshly in this review.)
