The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
Country: US
Technical: bw 92m
Director: Robert Wise
Cast: Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, Hugh Marlowe
Synopsis:
An alien humanoid, and his even more forbidding robot escort, land on Earth with a warning to humanity to cease its internecine behaviour, or face the consequences.
Review:
The definitive Cold War sci-fi, concerned not with distant worlds but with our own, this also benefited from the full treatment, with Wise directing, a decent budget, gleaming modernist art design and a Bernard Herrmann score. Neal excels as the Earth girl who befriends the messenger from outer space.
