THE ANGRY RED PLANET - Paul Dunlap - "Serenity Of A Martian Landscape" (1960)

"The Angry Red Planet" was one of the hardest films to choose stills from, because if you've got a good copy, almost every frame is terrific, except for the one's with Gerald Mohr's hairy chest in it, so what I'm going to do is show you some random shots. The music here is very esoteric and odd. It's kind of like jazzy Hawaiian music from outer space! You know what I'm talking about! The magnificent genius of Paul Dunlap is once again responsible for setting the mood!! Be prepared for something like nothing you have ever heard before in your life!! 
 
Having Jack Kruschen reading a science fiction pulp was a stroke of genius! If it had only been a comic book, it would have been even cooler!! 
 
Pretty fancy GPS tracking device, because you know, it's always good to know where you're going in space! 
 
Hot red port! 
 
Cool down Port!! 
 
Naura Hayden, or as she was known in this film Nora Hayden was quite lovely when she let her hair down!! 
 
The way past cool theme from "The Angry Red Planet" was the first monster movie music we showcased on this blog, go back to July 2007 and see how things have changed in the mere 10 months since we started!!

  4. The producers had a heart attack when the model makers brought the amoeba model to the set for filming and proudly showed them their 'last minute' spinning eye hook up!
