Review of First Man into Space (1959) by Walter C — 27 Aug 2011
"The conquest of new worlds always makes demands of human life. And there will always be men who will accept the risk." It seems like this tale has been told just too many times. Every other science fiction/horror film in the 50s seems to have involved a guy going up in a rocket, getting manipulated by something, then returning to earth as a slavering monster.
This one has a good cast and is well shot. But it's just more of the same. I think The Quatermass Xperiment has a bit more flare. But this one is better than several others I've seen.
