Enduring Scifi fable that has not dated in its ideas for the past years since it was made. Began a decade of classic Science Fiction films in Hollywood in the 1950s. The 1950s was perhaps the golden age of the SciFi genre in Hollywood during the 1950s as there were a lot of classics coming out then. The Day the Earth Stood Still(1951) is a thoughtful and well meaning film that was engrossing to follow. Spreads more interest intellengent thories than any Science Fiction film made in Hollywood today. If The Day the Earth Stood Still was remade today then it would be just another generic good humans vs. bad aliens saga. One of a number of brilliant films by Robert Wise. Influenced many American and British science fiction films for the following decades. Bernard Herrmann performs a wonderful film score that is one of his best non Hitchcock score. Includes an early role from future Hammer studio actor and American action star, Stuart Whitman.
