Billy Grey really was great in this. Child actors can be the weak link in movies, but he's so good...so genuine.
The finest Sci-Fi film ever made. Period.
Patriot 4ever I totally agree. As near perfect as it’s possible to get.
i agree totally
Almost as good as Forbidden Planet !
This is a classic movie. The theme was right on. And the music? Simply great!
+austin teutsch Music by the Master of Suspense.....BERNARD HERRMANN
Spencer Tracy was one of our greatest actors bar none. However,they made the right call by not casting him as Klaatu.
Thank you for making this movie it is the best ever I can watch it over and over and over I seen it when I was a little kid in the 60s and I am 59 years old and I love it thank you and god bless.
Michael Rennie also played an alien in probably the best episode of "Lost In Space"
I liked it when Gort was melting everything in sight! I wish I could have had him as bodyguard in high school.
Favorite movie. Writing, acting, casting ,directing, concept. All excellent. It was sad to see such a poor remake but no worries, you got it right the first time.
This film was the first scifi movie to give us a serious look at what our first contact with extraterrestrials might look like, with a true cinematic genius at the helm, the great Robert Wise. The perfect combination of actors, script, and production values, a true classic of film, and of the genre. The remake was a total mistake :(
You failed to include Bernard Herrmann's ground-breaking music score, which incorporated two Theremins in the orchestration.

He's on my list Top Three cinema music masters. If you want this to be a discussion on the the best film composers, I suggest you read my comments on this same topic on YT.
Interesting insight into this classic picture.
This movie is an absolute CLASSIC! The 2008 remake with Keanu Reeves is atrocious! I hated it!
Be careful how you use the word "hate"
Couldn’t agree more.
Perhaps it would be more civil if use use the word Dislike or don't recommend. We depend on civil language to live in a democracy. Or to use an old expression "loose lips sink ships" . Words matter. Please don't do violence to our beloved English language.
An all-time classic!
A perfect movie perfectly casts.
She’s awesome
one of the best sic fi movies ever gave us a good look at ourselves and what other planets think of us don't bring your bullshit to the other planets u better leave it right here on earth a great message in this movie!!!!!
Spencer Tracy? Why not Gary Cooper? “Are you an alien from another planet?” Yep. “Are you here to take over the Earth? Nope.
It was really a kind of cluky story, filled with plot holes and traps. but, it got across to the audience of the day. I was only 5 years old when it first hit the silver screens, but in those days, theaters would replay movies for a few years, so when I first saw it I was 9 and it really grabbed me. That robot was awesome. I still keep two prints of the Gort head over my desk. Sky marshall Kla'atu (Michael Rene) was such a "Dad" image for the little kid (they all seemed to need a little kid in their sci-fi stories in those days) and I was in some "missing daddy" issues at the time) and I really latched onto the Michale Rene character as - "What if I had a dad who was really an alien from outer space and had this giant robot that would kick anyone's ass and a cool spaceship and my dad was nice like Kla'atu was?" So, it had a lot for everyone. But, even as a kid, I questioned: when Kla'atu escaped from the hospital and hid out in the R&B house and everyone was looking for the escaped Spaceman and no one knew where he was- You mean the Government had this guy from another planet in the hospital and no one bothered to get a photograph of him? That was dumb!" And when Gort went to get Kla'atu out of the jail where they had his corpse stretched out...not one person in the whole city noticed this giant silver scary looking robot walking through town, vaporizes the jail wall, then walking back to the spaceship with this body draped across his arms? Really?
Oh, well, we just have to figure the robot had some kind of kick-ass "No one look at me!" rays or something.
And what about Gort having these "automatic" triggers that at the first sign of violence, they go into "Burn it! Burn it all!" mode to take out the aggressors. When the Army machinegunned Kla'atu int he street, Gort was still in his 'pussy' mode of trying to get out of his epoxy sarcophagus and still didn't go all Chuck Norris on the world. What? Makes no sense. I guess that model of Gort was on a 'trial offer" or a loaner or something.
"At the first sign of aggression...." Whatever...
Anyway...a good story otherwise.
Really? After all that sarcastic " no asked you" rant you spewed. You have the gall to say 'you liked it. Stick to your guns man or other wise you were just shooting blanks. If you didn't like the movie just be real about it. Sheesh
Did they write out that gibberish Rennie says in the ship when he reports back to his home planet?
Known facts about space travel and "levitation"?
One of best films of all time
Billy Gray played "Bud" the son, in the long running hit comedy series "FATHER KNOWS BEST" starring Robert Young.

Isn’t it The day the earth stood still ? Just a small point .
Klatuu imray narruat. Macro pluval terreaxil berengi degas.
I can't find part one?
Hugh Marlow was a great "friend" of Michael Renney. I sense the term meant they found a mutual sexual attraction. Nothing wrong with that but still sort of sad. We've moved beyond those repressed times.
I have watched this movie a dozen times or more and I never get tired of watching it. It is realistic I love that you didn't put a bunch of martians and green slimy suits using Patricia Neal and And Michael rennie as Klaatu Not Spencer Tracy. Though I think he's a marvelous actor ... l'm glad you went with an unknown Because Klaattu is Unknown! The story was much better than the Keanu Reeves Version ... I like Keanu Reese very much. I didn't like the story, I didn't like the way it was told, I didn't like anything about it!
Note the ashtrays next to her during the interview.
The Earth Stand Still?? You gotta be kidding me.
Interesting that she cannot pronounce Klattu or say Nikto correctly. She said "toe" in the film and again in the interview.
She had a nearly fatal stroke which made her have to learn English all over again.
@@carltonpoindexter2034 Thanks very much.
@@wrcoe You are welcome. I watched an interview with her where she had explained that every movie she made after HUD she had to have her lines posted to read as she acted a scene because her short term memory had been destroyed. As a stroke victim, I can relate. She had all sorts of tragedies and went from being an atheist to becoming a believer.
@@carltonpoindexter2034 I had a stroke in February of 2018. Tiny vessel deep in brain. Still have some right side disfunction. Difficult to say if it effected my memory. Speech is OK. Glad you are doing well.
Well it's pronounced toe. How was she supposed to say it. Tah? ......idiot
Spencer Tracy!!! Lol
"The Earth Stand Still" (sic) non-title put me off right away. You have had plenty of time to correct this gaff. C'mon folks!
It's read as: How we made the earth stand still. As in, a documentary of the behind-the-scenes making of it.
klaatu barada necktie.....no......nickle.........shit.
