Cold War Curio
11 December 2013
When an alien artifact discovered on Earth is found to have come from Venus, an international team of astronauts embarks to investigate its origins.

Odd film made in East Germany during the cold war.

When the film came to the states characters were switched in the dubbing.

The film is interesting as a curio piece on two levels....the cold war angle AND just because it's sci fi from 1960 set in 1985.

Over all the problem with the film is that it's overly slow. The action doesn't really get going until 2/3s into the film. But it's in color which is a rarity for a film made in 1960.

It's worth a look see if you're a die hard early sci fi fan. If not you probably should move along.
