I recently acquired this film on a DVD pack called Science Fiction 50, which contains fifty really bad SF films of the 1950's and 60's. Someone must have acquired the rights at a Hollywood Garage Sale.
The interesting thing about this movie is how the whole Alien Abduction Mythology was laid out in 1953, before the first reports of Grays.
1) The aliens blot out the memory of the kidnap victim, leaving him with "Missing time".
2) They perform surgical procedures on him.
3) They are terribly concerned with nuclear tests.
4) They show him their home planet, which of course, is dying.
In short, all the things that alien abductees, starting with Betty and Barney Hill, have been reporting since the 1960's. This is all really kind of interesting, but it still isn't a very good film.
