    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The setting of this film is somewhat mysterious. It appears to be England, but the radio has American voices instead of British ones; both the doctor and the barmaid have very English accents, but middle-European names; the police wear uniforms suggestive of eastern Europe (and carry revolvers in a holster); a politician is described as "Secretary of the Interior", a post which does not exist in the British government; there is a reference to "the President", rather than the Prime Minister; and the inn where much of the action takes place seems halfway between an English pub and an Austrian gasthaus.
    • Goofs
      The distance to Venus is claimed to be "millions of lightyears." The actual distance to Venus is about three light minutes.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Meinard: [taking the Stranger's pulse] There is no pulse. There are two possible explanations for this; I am drunk, or you are dead.

    Early British Sci-Fi
    Basically British variation on The Day Earth Stood Still, which Neal also starred in. It tries to overcome it's low budget limitations but just falls short of the mark. A for effort; C for execution. British sci-fi would take off the following year with the arrival of Professor Bernard Quatermass.
