The Day Mars Invaded Earth is a sci-fi film with almost no special effects, mostly location filming, and (except for Marie Windsor) a no-name cast. Yet it's surprisingly effective.
Most of the movie was filmed at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills (now a city park). That setting adds a good bit of visual interest. Marie Windsor was her usual talented self as the main character's wife. Kent Taylor, as her husband, had some mannerisms that I found annoying at first, but they worked as the story moved along. The script was gappy in places but did the job.
Well worth a watch.
