The 30s and 40s did in fact produce their own group of science fiction movies, and many of them are hi-caliber productions that put to shame the large number of low-budget sci-fi movies that sullied the decade known as The Golden Age of Sci-Fi.

Below are three fine examples of the best science fiction from the Classic era.

Just Imagine (1930)

Opening Statement: IMDB has several interesting trivia items for this production. I watched if on YouTube while writing this post and enjoyed it very much!
________________________________

~ Of the film's credited cast members, only Maureen O'Sullivan (LN-1 and Joyzelle Joyner (Loo Loo / Boo Boo) were still alive during the actual 1980. O'Sullivan died on June 23, 1998 whereas Joyner died on November 30, 1980, coincidentally only one week after the 50th anniversary of the film's release.

The Invisible Man (1933)

Opening Statement: This wonderful 38-minute documentary includes an interview with Claude Rains' daughter, who describes the time when she was ten years old and her father took her to a small local theater in her Pennsylvania home town to see his new movie . . . on an evening when it was snowing . . . and with Claude's head wrapped in a scarf, with a hat on as well.

He was deliberately mimicking the opening scene for his daughter, and to try to remain incognito. You'll love the rest of her story, too![/size]

Metropolis (1927)

Opening Statement: [color=darkblue]IMDB has several interesting trivia items for this production, Very Happy

~ Much to Fritz Lang's dismay, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels were big fans of the film. Goebbels met with Lang and told him that he could be made an honorary Aryan despite his Jewish background. Goebbels told him "Mr. Lang, we decide who is Jewish and who is not." Lang left for Paris that very night. /color]
