Shot in only six days, this low budget product of the early 1950s featured a mysterious alien landing on earth as an equally enigmatic planet is rushing toward ours. This atmospheric early sci-fi, directed by Edgar G. Ulmer, is set on a Scottish island and features some fun special effects. The mysterious Planet X has been seen circling closer to earth and a friendly alien approaches the human scientists in a gesture of good will. He is met, however, by the selfish Dr. Mears (William Schallert) who gives the visitor a bad impression of earthlings, forcing him to take over their minds. Robert Clarke, Margaret Field, and Raymond Bond co-star.This colorful half sheet shows said alien holding Robert Clarke and Raymond Bond hostage, as Margaret Field inspects the visitor's spacecraft from afar.
