I think the apology would sound more sincere if it came from the President himself rather than his secretary. I always thought it odd that the president didn't go to the hospital but post 9/11, in which the Pres was squirrelled away for safety, I expect that was the reason here. Although they don't say so, of course. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

I like the way you first see Klaatu from the back, and when you finally see his face, it is really rather ordinary. |

I would like a Gort for door opening duties. Why don't the Americans just ask if they can go inside the ship? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Why do Americans always look for the most dramatic, the most frightening...is it because their news agencies are commercial operations, competing for an audience? The more terrifying they make the reports, the more the frightened people feel they need to watch...

The public attitude to alien invaders is so strongly represented like this in SF films, one wonders if that would be the reaction in teal life. MONSTERS. KILL.

This slimey creep - Patricia Neal's friend - is played by Hugh Marlowe. For years, I got him confused with Richard Carlsson who also appeared in the genre.

What he does later = creepy No, I wasn't denying that he would turn out to be creepy, I was just wondering if the Brylcream foreshadowed it. |

Sinking the Rock of Gibraltar is an intriguing idea. Most Americans wouldn't have any idea what it was. Sorry to sound anti-American, it's just that the USA is so HUGE, they don't need to travel anywhere else, and they aren't well-informed about the rest of the world. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

The interior of the spaceship is oddly reminiscent of early versions of the TARDIS. |
