i saw this movie in the early 70 when i be about 10 yr . old on tv . it be on after school and and a i watch and i be so draw into the whole idea of the two astronaut go on a mission to another undiscovered planet and that i ask my mom if i could get the cassette recorder out . she let me . so i wrap the cord of the mic around the channel knob and so the mic be hang in front of the speaker . this movie be the first one i ever pay enough attention to and care enough about to record . ( just the audio there be no vcr at the time . ) the plot will have you hang onto every word . every minute of this film . the end will blow your mind . after watch the journey to the far side of the sun . you will have flash back in your mind about it for a long time . i do replay the audio record for many year . and saw it over and over in my mind . then maybe 15 year later . when vcr be common and and they sell tape in store . i always look for it . but never find it . but when the internet come along one day i search for it and purchase it in a second . so . after about 30 year after see it for the first time i get to see it again . wow . ~~ it be spectacular . just for reference . i must have watch it 50 time since .
