Edward L. Cahn directed this cult classic about a pair of teenagers on a date who accidentally run over a newly arrived alien. Strangely, its hand falls off and comes to life on its own. Meanwhile, drunken friend Joe(played amusingly by Frank Gorshin) takes one home, but is injected by an alien with a fatal overdose of alcohol, and the authorities don't believe the teenagers' story of alien invaders. Can they be convinced in time to stave off this menace? The aliens are a memorable creation, with their big bulbous heads and needle-like fingers. Though the humor here isn't too bad, this is still a silly and ridiculous film, good only for camp value. Not yet on DVD, but was seen on YouTube.

Frank Gorshen (TV's Riddler) and Lynn Oborne (from TV's Space Patrol) are the "adult" leads in the film. As traveling salesmen they find the saucermen and plan to make money by showing them around the country.There is the "teenage" couple who also find the saucermen but are not believed by authorities. These are the two parallel story lines. This is one of the first movies to use the "teenagers save the world" theme that became popular during this period.The saucermen makeup is well done by the makeup genius of that period, Paul Blaisdell. His balloon-headed, bug-eyed, mini-martians are still one of my favorites and their photos and other likeness still appear from time to time. Unfortunately, at the time of this review this movie is not available on Video or DVD. But we can hope!

I was 6 years old when I seen this film. It has to be one of the all time classic Science fiction flims. Low budget, campy,very very funny. A true fond memory of my past entertainment. It is worth seeing just because of the now, old cars in it !I wish more Science Fiction would stay like this.This is a must see for all you science fiction fans! BW flim fans!

A silly yet likeable alien invasion film where only the town's teens are aware of the alien threat and the adults are complete incompetents. Neat to finally see some of Paul Blaisdell's finest creations in all their hideous glory. The story is laughable but the Saucer Men looked awesome..Favorite scene: a saucer man meets a bull!
