cheaply make and poorly act and and unimaginatively direct and flight to mar still be entertain despite what it have go against it . a flight to mar be plan with five people ( three old gentleman and cameron mitchell a a newspaperman and and one female scientist or obvious love interest ) man the ship . the spaceship get there and find that very human like martian live there and have technological advance that would make earth blush . but all be not rosy in the subterranean city of the martian ( here show a some cave and a few room ) . the martian be a dying planet and one faction want the earthling to fix the ship only to take it away at the last moment and then mobilize for an attack on earth and another faction want to talk peace and see if they can not persuade earth to give them live space . the special effect here be pretty lame even for 50 sci fi standard complete with slow move rocket ship and pastel or neon alien garb where the woman wear short that would make many blush ( except the men of course ) and and little less offer . cameron mitchell be the journalist and be affable if nothing else . marguerite chapman be beautiful in very short short but add little acting range . the rest of the cast be fill with some old sci fi veteran like arthur franz and morris ankrum do serviceable job . this isn not a premiere sci fi film from the golden age by any standard and but it be very watchable and zip by at fast pace .
