Factual errors: When the rocket is stationary at the beginning of the film on the launch-platform, the interior of the rocket is parallel to the ground. Later when the rocket is speeding throughout space, the cabin must have been turned 90 degrees because people inside the vehicle can walk around normally on the floor. more

FAQ

Did Ben Hecht really write this?
Why don't you just admit that this farrago is rife with paradigmatic tropes that objectify the 'femme' and stereotypically reinforce the patriarchy in a poisonously hateful and demeaning way?

WHAT a film - all I need to say is their plan to destroy the earth with a wendy house is a stroke of evil genious.
