I just watched the recent version with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu. It was pretty good.

“Aunt Bee” aka Francis Bauvier was also in this movie.
She played the role of Mrs. Barley.

Patricia Neal said in an interview many decades later that they had a hard time shooting that movie because Michael Rennie and her couldn’t stop laughing at the ridiculous script. The would have to do multiple takes to get one scene done without bursting out laughing.

Little did they know it would become a sci-fi classic movie for all time..................

Patricia Neal. Breathtaking. Also great in The Fountainhead and HUD.

I saw it decades ago. I don’t remember much about it. I would like to see it again. The script was absurd to the actors and actresses? Interesting.

It was 1951, they had no concept of aliens or spacecraft at the time, so they though it was absurd...............

Michael Rennie is one of two British actors that are among my all-time favorites. Jack Hawkins is the other.

That sounds like a Joe Biden style mix up, braiding two stories together w/o realizing you did so.

Heavy on the liberal globalist messaging. Same "liberal fascist" philosophy as Star Trek. Men can't handle freedom and must be disarmed by a globalist galactic elite.
