[@martinchorich1621]

Before we get too snarky, this movie is effectively a remake of “Aelita”, one of the first full length sci-fi films made, in this case, in the Soviet Union in 1924. Aleksei Tolstoy, the original author of Aelita, gets a screenwriter credit although he died in 1945. The original Aelita revolved around class conflict and other Marxist themes, which, not surprisingly, did not figure into this Cold War era Hollywood production.

The actual title is "Flight To Mars". And it was originally released in color (Cinecolor) in 1951 by Monogram Pictures. Being a "poverty row studio", it is surprising that Monogram spent the extra money for color film. Fun movie, but lets face it...a trip to Mars and our intrepid group are wearing street clothes...even Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon wore uniforms in those early serials. Speaking of uniforms, I loved the sexy outfits (mini-skirts) that the Martian women wore.

FLIGHT TO MARS (Monogram, 1951) In Cinecolor. Starring Cameron Mitchell, Arthur Franz, Marguerite Chapman, John Litel, Morris Ankrum. Produced by Walter Mirisch. Directed by Leslie Selander. Music by Marlin Skiles. A fun colorful popcorn movie. Now available on DVD and Blu-Ray in restored Cinecolor! A real classic, even though it's a B-movie, it's a good one! Welcome to the world of 1951. Similar to George Pal's classic Technicolor space adventure DESTINATION MOON (1950) but Pal's film is an A picture which is scientifically accurate and inspired the American Space Program in the 1950s leading to the creation of NASA in 1958.

It was like that but with more “professional“ touches that this space ship was built. Gosh, if only we kids had the professional parts and abilities to build a spaceship like this in our backyards!
