Doppelgänger

Journey to the Far Side of the Sun (1969) Original title: Doppelgänger It is the dawn of the space age. A space probe comes back with the news of another planet in an orbit opposite Earth. Because security was compromised, we have to hurry up and check it out with a manned probe. We sent the top astronaut, Colonel Glenn Ross (Roy Thinnes), and top scientist John Kane (Ian Hendry) on a six-week round-trip mission to check it out. Instead, they return after three weeks. Why did they turn back? What is upsetting Colonel Glenn Ross? Of course, we know the answer, but it is fun watching the characters discover the secret. The clothing and props naturally reflect a 1960s concept of the future. The spaceship models look a little hokey, but when you get used to them, the story is fun and well-acted. This movie will make a good addition to your cultural history collection.
