Reel Review Rating: 8
The movie is about a "space man" who lands on Earth and is immediately misjudged and shot. He gets sent to a hospital and when he asks for a favor to speak to the United Nations about the fate of the world, he gets the answer "no". He escapes from the hospital and goes on the run. Many events happen before he turns off the whole world's electricity!!!

What I learned about making films.
I didn't really learn anything about film making in this movie BUT I noticed the director, Robert Wise, also directed some other movies I LOVE like The Sound of Music and West Side Story. I have to add Robert Wise to my Favorite Directors list.

Thanks for your comment, Mr. Sweeney!
Jack,
I think it's so great that you watch these old black and white movies. You are learning so much about film making when you take the time to invest in these classic movies. You'll be a better film director because of it. Keep up the great work and dedication towards it!
