It is interesting how films of this era inevitability produce a much higher level of discussion and civilization than dialogue today. The characters are more courteous, better dressed and more sophisticated too. Where is the vulgarity? None. Where is the gratuitous violence? None.

Peter Graves and James Arness; brothers who served during WW2. Both went into acting...Peter mostly in SciFy movies and James in westerns. James first role was "The Thing" in the original movie in the 1950s. Both good decent men when Hollywood actually had decent men.

Old saying, be careful what you wish for

The natural sequel would be like late medieval Europe, as each religion, with all their denominations, begin squabbling over who has the right to intrepret God, and denounce others as heretics. That's human nature: A lust for power and dominance despite great advice to the contrary.

Peter Graves was a natural actor. He was so smooth in the delivery of his lines and comfortable in front of the camera. At least that's how he appeared. Mission Impossible was the same way.

I was born in 1951 and loved watching sci fi movies of that time. I can't believe I miss this one. A great movie!

I say what I said before. Women were more beautiful before.

What a beautiful story ...wish AMERICANs were like that again...that loved America and the world. GOD BLESS USA the path we are on now is evil.

Funny thing. If you want to see the future, read old sci-fi books and movies. They got it right the first time with some imagination.

[adad-nerari]

One of the best Sci-Fi movies. Thanks.

SPOILER ALERT

I was enjoying this film—first time seeing it—until it took a 180° turn and descended into religious claptrap.

[garymussell]

This movie is definitely a relic of the Cold War propaganda from the Red Scare in the early 1950s and the blacklist of writers who did not toe the line. Interesting to watch it in that context.

[dennismckown]

didnt make any difference, fanatics are still killing people over religious differences when in all religions there is one supreme being. its my opinion and im not going to get into religious discussions.

[jimd]

As I watched this, I could not help wondering how this story would be told today if a producer were to pitch this story to Hollywood.

[michellereed]

Love this movie! Love Peter Graves! Thanks for posting!!! I have added it to my favorites list!!!

"They've classified the sky, it's top secret now." Hmm, that was prophetic.

[donalddonald]

The Democratic and socialists will hate this movie for sure. They want to be the God's.

[timsmith]

I don't quite understand why the world went to pieces because of what the Martians were doing? If my neighbour no longer needed to take the train because be bought a car, I would still take the train as required, wouldn't I? Then it all made less and less sense as it got religious. Entertaining but confusing.

In my mid sixties, and don't know how I missed seeing this movie before. Great movie! Thanks for sharing it!🤗
