Perhaps it looked better in the widescreen format it was aimed at: TV screenings are sadly a no-no, and even some dvd versions omit some shots, like the cleaned-out skeleton mooncalf. |

I have never been able to get a top-notch quality version of this essential 50s sci-fi movie, but I live in hope. |
