Terrible movie!!!

This movie was not sci-fi, and had little to do with Mars. It did have to do with an astral-planning Jesus! I am SO glad I didn't see this crap when I was a kid! Sometimes these old SF movies are fun to see again. If I could have, I would have climbed into the movie and broke the hose on that hydrogen valve myself!
There may be billions and billions of stars, but I'd give this one ZERO!

What was I really hoping for? Peter Graves to drop a line from Airplane! So disappointed. I didn't even notice a 'surely/Shirley'!

Um, actually it was scifi and had alot to do with Mars. Odd that (presumably) as an adult, you couldnt figure that out.

It was sci-fi with a message. Very American 1950s and the sort of short story you find in forgotten anthologies. Anti-communist, pro-Christian (conveniently forgetting that most people on this planet are not Christians - but they are not American so they don't count). I thought it was both interesting and a bit silly but overall quite enjoyed it.
