When Worlds Collide*
(US 1951)
Another star heads irrevocably towards Earth's destruction, and only a scientist and a small community of survivors convince the world to escape to new planet nearby.
Ominous but hardly threatening (in the cinematic sense) apocalyptic 50s blockbuster which entertains with some of its special effects and ensemble decoration, and quite good (if theoretically potty) science, although the matte painting other world is a whimsical disappointment.
Written by: Sidney Boehm, based on the novel by Edwin Balmer, Philip Wylie.
Producer: George Pal.
Director: Rudolph Mate.
Starring: Larry Keating, Richard Derr, John Hoyt, Barbara Rush, Peter Hansen, Alden Chase, Stuart Whitman.
Photography: W. Howard Greene, John F. Seitz.
Music: Leith Stevens.
Special Effects: Harry Barndollar, Gordon Jennings.
