FIRST MEN IN THE MOON

FIRST MEN IN THE MOON:    Film (1964). Columbia. Prod Charles H. Schneer. Dir Nathan Juran, starring Edward Judd, Martha Hyer, Lionel Jeffries. Screenplay Nigel KNEALE, Jan Read, from THE FIRST MEN IN THE MOON (1901) by H.G. WELLS. 107mins, cut to 103 mins. Colour.

   This watered-down version of Wells's classic novel is for the most part low farce, with too much random slaughtering of Selenite aliens, but still contrives to be entertaining. An eccentricVictorian inventor who has developed an ANTIGRAVITY material flies to the Moon in a spherical "spaceship". He and his companions are captured by insect-like Moon people but eventually escape, inadvertently leaving behind cold-germs which destroy the Moon's population. Ray HARRYHAUSEN's Moon creatures are rather good, as are the sets.A previous version ofFMITM was made in 1919 by British Gaumont, dir J.V. Leigh.
