Entertaining propaganda film
First off, I am not using the word propaganda in a negative way. Most of the films of that era were propaganda films. The message is decidedly pro-America and is meant as a wake up call for those watching it. It tells us that Americans should not just think about their bottom line, but should look at the bigger picture of doing their share to keep America safe. I won't get into any specifics about the characters or the plot but the invasion part is handled in a very clever way. It is an interesting snapshot for what America looked like in the early 1950's. Peggie Castle is lovely as the female lead and there are several nice shots of vintage military hardware of the era. It is one of a hand full of movies to show the B-36 intercontinental bomber in action, one other being Paramount's Strategic Air Command starring Jimmy Stewart, another propaganda film which was released a couple of years later. All in all I give the film Five Stars for giving us a snapshot of life in the US before most of us were even born.Vollständige Rezension lesen

A Cold War Classic!
This is an early Cold War classic -- low-budget but a great reflection of the times. It's not "great cinema" but more of a historical artifact. Some consider it a propaganda film, but not in the usual sense -- it appears to be an expression of the fear and suspicions of the times rather than a calculated tool to produce a particular result.
There are some short interviews with the cast included in the film that are fascinating and enjoyable, all taking place decades after the film's release.
I had the feeling that there must have been more than one "cut" of this movie, as I remember some parts of it differently -- I seem to recall seeing the Supreme Court justices "mowed down" by the enemy troops near the end of the movie, however I was just a child when I saw it and my memory isn't trustworthy. Either way, I was very pleased to get ahold of this film, and recommend it to anyone with an interest in the cold war period.Vollständige Rezension lesen

A classic schlock movie.
I bought this item because it is a notorious schlock movie from the 1950's, often offered as a double feature with The Blob at drive in movies. It's a lot of fun but a poor, low budget film. Nevertheless, I'm glad I bought it as a piece of nostalgia.Vollständige Rezension lesen
