World Without End (1956) / Satellite in the Sky (1956) Double Feature DVD
Actors: Hugh Marlowe, Nancy Gates, Nelson Leigh, Rod Taylor, Shirley Patterson
Directors: Edward Bernds, Paul Dickson
Writers: Edward Bernds, Edith Dell, J.T. McIntosh, John Mather
Producers: Edward J. Danziger, Harry Lee Danziger
Format: Color, DVD, NTSC
Language: English
WORLD WITHOUT END takes more than a few threads of H.G. Wells' TIME MACHINE, as a group of astronauts finds themselves stranded in a dystopic future earth of the year 2509. Humanity is divided into two classes: men (who are impotent) and women who live beneath the surface, and the savage "beasts" who resemble neanderthals. Genre favorites Hugh Marlowe and Rod Taylor are among the spacemen who try to spur the passive humans into action against their oppressors. And in typical 50's fashion, there are some fetching females for the lonely travelers to admire.
SATELLITE IN THE SKY offers up a serious attempt to depict a flight into outer space, similar in some respects to George Pal's Conquest of Space, release a year earlier. A rocketship blasts off (in a scene virtually lifted from Pal's When Worlds Collide) carrying a "tritonium" bomb. Lois Maxwell--Miss Moneypenny in the James Bond film from 1962 to 1985--is a reporter covering the story. While the film's anti-war message is predicably heavy-handed, particularly in the downbeat ending, the first-rate special effects keep this one interesting.
If you're into these sorts of films, you'll definitely want to add this disc to your collection.
