I bought this title because I remembered watching it on Chicago's WGN Series "Family Classics". Although the "special effects" are very dated, the story is, surprisingly, as enjoyable as I recalled from my childhood viewings. I would recommend it for fans of 50's & 60's Sci-Fi, as long as you watch it with an appropriate amount of appreciation for the tongue in check & try not to be too jaded by everthing we now see in the movies. I would be a great vehicle for a big-budget, digital effects remake, of course updated to modern times - perhaps the first "robot" guided mission to another planet.
Viewer Reviews How can you go wrong when you spell robot backwards, chuckle. Definitely one of the Sci-Fi classics of the 50's and 60's that I remember watching on Saturday afternoons on the good old B&W TV set.
