Customer Reviews

Dated, but a must for your Mars collection.

Based on the novel "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) Due to a mishap, Mars Gravity Probe One was captured in Mars' gravity, and they had to abandon the ship. Also, it looks like Kit (Paul Mantee) and Mona (The Woolly Monkey) are left to their own devices alone on Mars. Will Kit find a way to survive, and maybe something he (or we) did not suspect? It is fun to look at all the 1960's technology (now 60-plus years old). Oh no, I saw this in the movies; I guess my technology is a tad older. They may have also borrowed some scenes from The War of the Worlds (1953). The fireball at the beginning of the movie came from the film "Conquest of Space" (1955). We also see "Destination Moon" (1950) spacesuits. Filming Location: Death Valley National Park, California, USA I cannot believe that they gave it both the Criterion treatment and the Blu-ray treatment, as it is just another 60's sci-fi. Anyway, there is no excuse to miss this one. ----- I watched the Criterion Blu-ray version with commentary. According to the commentary, the monkey's name was Barney. They made him wear a fur bikini so his male accouterments would not show.
