The War of the Worlds

Gene Barry

1953 treatment of the HG Wells story kicked off the sci-fi mania in the 50's. Good effects for the time, wooden performance by GB, nice structure. I saw this as a child and it scared the shit out of me...this time not so much.

But the fast pace and inherent interest in the scenario pulled me right along and made it easy for me to see why this was such a big hit.
