Review of The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961) by Dov D — 22 Dec 2012
In Val Guest's crowning directoral achievement The Day The Earth Caught Fire, the pace pace is much faster than other films of the time whilst having little actual action occurring, creating an interesting final product.
The dialogue is hard to follow from the get go, but once you get into this film, it never lets you go. This is potentially the best apocalypse movie I have ever seen, due in large part to the phenomenally well written script.
Bottom line, definitely worth seeing for anyone who respects classic cinema...
