Description
In 1951, Earth received a warning and an ultimatum from the depths of space: Abandon the ways of war and join the rest of the solar system in peaceful coexistenceβ¦or continue their pursuit of war and face total destruction. Despite the efforts of diplomats and scientists around the world, the human race quickly proved it had no interest in peace. In 1961, Klatu returned to Earth. This time, he bore no message, only a judgment.-----
Inspired by the film The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) and "Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates. Gort by Ptrope. Burning City image by Aarneus.

Darnit. Now I want to see this movie! Good work. *Walks off grumbling...* Just curious though...why Sears over Wise in the directors chair?

Wise wanted to much money.

Outstanding idea!
Pity we couldn't have had THIS rather than the Keanu remake (dreadful). Keanu is spotty, but Michael Rennie was one of my all time favorites.
Extra points for Les Tremayne as the General!
Karen Steele as the female lead, huh? She's the only one of "Mudd's Women" who had any appeal as far as I'm concerned. Of the all the "Trek" women she'd clearly be one of the better choices. Not really competition for her Oscar and Tony award winning "predecessor" leading lady, but Patricia Neal is a tough act for anyone to follow.

I drop in General Mann whenever possible. He is the ultimate 1950s movie soldier.
As for Karen Steele, I just needed a hot chick and I didn't see this as a film with a high enough budget to get Patricia Neal back.
Thanks for the very kind words! If you like this, you should check out my Halloween posters:
