    A true classic of science fiction. Tastefully produced without all the over-the-top hoopla. My top 5!

    Great old SciFi. Movie was actually well made for the era But bearing final production budget was cut leaving only the crude test screens of the new world instead of the high quality masked renderings. So the last sceens of the new world are kind of cartoon like. Note the Differential Analyser was Real and was one of the largest, most complicated, analog computers ever made. A precursor to the modern electronic computers.
