12 To The Moon | Sci-Fi | Full Movie

🎥 TenaaTV presents: 12 To The Moon (1960)
A 12 member crew is dispatched to the Moon. Once landed they begin their exploration, but when they fire a mortar into a rock formation, burning liquid begins bubbling out. Back inside the ship a machine begins printing out an ominous message telling them to leave. Back on Earth they find that the Moon-beings have frozen parts of it and plan to drop atomic bomblets into a volcano to thaw it out.

When I was a boy in the 1960s and the real effort to reach the Moon was unfolding before my eyes, I watched every one of these movies that attempted to visualize space travel as I could and found them compelling viewing. They have NOT aged well.

[@rosella0555]

Ned Roberts Assistant Producer was my Uncle. This week I was looking at old photographs... and found a few personal pictures of behind the scenes. Interesting.... thank you for having this 🎥 movie on KZbin 😮

[@tenaatv]

Wow, that's a cool fun fact! Glad you enjoy the movie :)

I like how the astronauts seemingly first met inside the spaceship xD

[@randylewis7220]

A international crew in 1960 can you imagine were the US and the world would be if it were true. I was 4 and already was a spaceman but by the time I entered the public school system and experienced racism full on my dreams dashed because I was just glad to make it home every day everyday.

[@Autostade67]

This movie may be cheap but its post WW2 political stance is exact to period and very galvanizing...I can't think of any other Science Fiction film from this period where an African character has a key role, the aggressors from that conflict have been culturally rehabilitated and the Holocaust is referenced outright. Bravo.

[@oneoffour63]

Gotta love the high tech space ship back then, astronauts blasting off in the comforts of lawn chairs..

[@mikelabor7688]

Agreed! Lawn chairs in outer space!

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Well if pigs can fly, Kermit can ride a bicycle & The Muppets have already been there, why not? Science FIKSHUN.

[@mikelabor7688]

I love old movies, especially if the space ship has tons of floor space! We have birds, monkeys, cats and a dog too? And what in the world are those weird braids along the back of arms, and across the back, on "space suits"?

[@brianhiles8164]

Spider webs, from _Space Spiders._

[@wzman2006]

@@brianhiles8164 Those suits they were wearing were fighter pilot g suits from the 50s. They were laced up like a corset, that's the braids you see. Modern g suits still use this lacing on legs and waist, but they're hidden by a flap of nomex fabric. G-suits were and still are custom fit. Had to get one refit after gaining a few pounds on vacation.

12 to the Moon. "Starring an International Cast!" , yelled the cinema lobby cards. "Name us!" yelled the poor actors, "Or we won't go!" Very well then, but not all 12, ten who were doctors. There was Ken Clark, who played Captain Anderson (who??), British bloke Tom Conway (true brother of British bloke George Sanders), Anthony Dexter (best known for portraying Rudolph Valentino), Robert Montgomery Jr (son of you-know-who) and Francis X. Bushman (best known for appearing in the original silent version of Ben-Hur!). On the production side, there was David Bradley (who often directed Pete Smith Specialities - bleeearrgghhh!), De Witt Bodeen (writer of Cat People (1942) for Val Lewton NB don't tell John Carpenter that!) and John Alton (one of Hollywood's unsung photographic geniuses!). Oh, there was also special effects man Howard A. Anderson (formed his own group, Howard A. Anderson Co, and did some of the special effects for Jack the Giant Killer (1962)). Anyway, off these 12 go to the Moon, in their rocket. There is a model rocket, but the launching is stock footage of a real rocket. Well, it was done on a very low budget and it was for drive-in teenagers, who were looking for a cheap cinematic thrill, in those days! The story looks utterly absurd and silly, nowadays, and the audience sadly does not see the beings encountered on the Moon at all. Why not? Beings on the Moon, I hear you say, dear reader? Yup! Then again, this film was made in the days when many people still thought that the Moon, and other planets in the solar system, were inhabited by alien beings. The film is definitely watchable, but that's about all. Again, another of those curios from the past.

[@rosella0555]

Wow... you know a lot about this film 🎥 My uncle Ned Roberts was in the crew ... I am a retiredelementaryschoolteacher..... I just found some old behind the scenes pictures amongst the tons of Memorabilia I inherited in Los Angeles County 🌴 Just researching for sale .... Any ideas on who would buy such items? You seem to know a lot Thank you 🤝 Miss Rosella 🌹

[@matthewhyatt281]

@@rosella0555 Hello, there. I got a lot of knowledge of this film, from a certain book written by a certain British bloke called Denis Gifford (sadly, now deceased). I am terribly sorry, but I would not really know who would buy those old behind the scenes pictures (apart from collectors of such memorabilia, that is). Sorry about that.

[@Autostade67]

The reason you see the stars through the rocket is a simple matter of budget: footage of the rocket was shot against a black background and then superimposed over a second length of footage - both probably packed into an optical printer and exposed against a third negative. To remove the stars would have require rotoscoping - a painstaking process where a black matte of the rocket travelling against a white background is created frame by frame. The rocket is exposed against this. I believe also the same matte would have to be used against the star background, as well. That a mere 8 years later The Discovery would she shown against those spectacular moving star fields in '2001' - it still looks freaking amazing today! - boggles the mind.

it was amazing thnx

고맙습니다 컬러라이징하면 무척 좋겠습니다

[@pennyarcade2]

Wow, they certainly cut some corners on this movie. I too saw it when it first came out and back then criticised it for running roughshod with scientific facts. Now I realise, of course, that having 'proper' spacesuits, and simulating the 1/6 Lunar gravity would have been beyond the poor studio's budget. They could have, however, afforded some thicker paper to make the space ship because you can see the background stars through the model (the launch sequence). Finally, one woman and 11 men....?? surely not a good look these days.

[@Madbandit77]

Two women.

25:32 One of the greatest B-movie science handwaves of all time.

[@SS08947]

The dog, cat, monkeys etc....their natural bodily functions could be problematic in zero G. And their helmets seems to be open to the vacuum of space....that could also be a problem.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Science FICTION, NOT a documentary.

[@alext8828]

Why would Columbia Pictures produce such a crumby film?

[@unowen-nh9ov]

They didn't, they bought it for distribution from independent because of public interest in the space race, Columbia began as Poverty Row with notoriously awful studio head, NO studio produced all classics, 1 reason Hollywood is called dream FACTORY.

[@lumenpraetorius4592]

Wow what a lame movie filled with one absurdity after another.
