Review: Enfin car je cherchais ce film depuis longtemps et je confondais l’acteur principal Marshall Thompson (vous savez Daktari) avec Glenn Ford. Donc mes recherches étaient un peu faussées. Merci beaucoup.

Review: Odeon Entertainment dvd release. Although the dvd claims to be remastered and restored it would be safe to assume from the picture that it was a remaster. As to restoration that would be debatable, as there appears to be no indication it has been cleaned in anyway, unless the original source was deplorable. The picture is generally pretty good, but the dirt and debris on occasions suggests restoration of giving the discs a quick wipe with a moistened towel.As to the film, we hurtle onward to space in a manned jet. Manned by the ever unreliable brother of the steadfast ground control chap. He is cock-sure, gung-ho and perhaps a smidge of a glory hound. After half an hour we have him return from another test where he pushed the boundaries of the testing too far. He has been contaminated. He becomes something rather interesting and dangerous. The make-up and monstrousness, even the nature of what makes a monster, make this film superior to mere pulp fare. Although the plot is minimal and the tempo a tad slow, we eventually see the humanity of all concerned, with a minor role for Marla Landi who went onto a couple of Hammer films.Overall then, solid sound, decent picture. A teensy bit slow in the build up,but with sufficient interest for the period. Not as delightfully eccentric as Fiend Without A Face, and certainly bears the similar plot points of the Quatermass Hammer flicks. A solid piece of britishness with americans scattered throughout. Worthy, yet not especially vibrant on monsterous pay-off. It did also seem with the set-up of the contaminated pilot, to foreshadow the later muck-fest that was the Incredible Melting Man.

Review: This seemingly harmless, boilerplate fifties scifi « thriller » is of special significance to me, which is the reason I purchased the VHS version. When I was eight years old, I attended a double feature matinee at the Varsity Theater in Palo Alto, California. The main feature was Disney’s « Darby O’Gill and the Little People, » a decent, semi-comedic flick most well-known for being a showcase for a budding actor named Sean Connery. « Darby » included a few scary moments, however, in which an animated « banshee » was shown floating ominously in the evening sky. Perhaps because of these briefly frightening scenes, the geniuses in charge of putting together the double bill selected « First Man Into Space » as the second feature.The results were nothing short of disastrous.Although « First Man » seems cheesy and at times downright plodding by today’s frenetic standards for scifi films, showing a movie that includes a mutated, cyclopic, blood-drinking murderous monster to a crowd of under-ten children resulted in pandemonium in the theater and countless youthful nightmares afterward. I was so scared by the « monster » (I was certain it was going to come bursting through my bedroom window) that I could not sleep alone for several nights.Since I never forget to just what extent « First Man » scared the bejibbers out of me was back in 1959, I eagerly anticipated seeing the movie again some forty-plus years later. Needless to say, it was a very different experience the second time around. The « monster, » who actually was the « first man into space » deformed by some mysterious variety of cosmic radiation, still appeared slightly scary (the one staring eye was an inspired effect, truly). But overall, the film seemed slow, dull, and oh, so cheesy. As other reviewers have indicated, the plot line of the movie has some admirable elements, with its « pride goeth before a fall » morality and the compassion showed by the authorities in the final scenes. But the film definitely qualifies as fodder for ridicule and wisecracks a la the late (and much missed) series, « Mystery Science Theater 3000. »In seeing the movie for the first time themselves, my own sons, far more jaded in terms of what qualifies as « frightening, » politely commented that they « could see how the monster might be scary, » but I confess they were so bored by the production overall that it was all they could do to keep from leaving the room prior to the conclusion.I guess to appreciate some of the virtues of this not-bad-but-not-great fifties scifi « thriller, » you hadda be there, in the dark, on a Saturday afternoon with a hundred other terrified suburban kids.
