I don't know Borges....that 1953 version of War of the Worlds was fabulous!!! It's scary everytime I see it, and I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but the "bling bling" noise from the alien's craft really adds to the drama as one of them comes closer, closer, closer.

And not only that....the 1953 WotW had a love interest. Yu can't beat that damsel in distress angle.

Ever notice how a little special sound effect like that is so important. Freddie had one...even Law and Order's got it's "ching ching".

I will not go to see Spielberg's War of the Worlds, and it's not because I feel any affinity for the novel. It's the 1953 movie I don't want messed up for me.

As a matter of trivia...two of the three stars of the 1953 film, Gene Barry, ann Robinson and Bob Cornwaithe...are still alive.
