Mission Mars (1968)



 
I know nothing about this film other than it has Darren McGavin in it.  That might be enough to make me watch it, maybe.  Anyone care to add a quick review to the comments.  Should I bother?

The Wizard of Mars (1965)





The Wizard of Mars is a 1965 low budget science fiction film take-off of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, co-written and directed by stage magician David L. Hewitt.  That's all I know.

Moon Pilot (1962)

Moon Pilot is satirical comedy made in 1962.  It's based on the 1960's novel Starfire by Robert Buckner.


 
Oh look, its one of those Men Into Space helmets which have been recycled all over the place.  Nice.

Space Probe Taurus (1965)





I know little about this film and neither Wikipedia or IMDB are giving too much away so with a brief nod towards the space suit design, which I quite like, I simply want to know why I'm getting a Mork vibe of that alien above.  Weird!

Space Men aka Assignment Outer Space (1960)

Italian in origin, Space Men aka Assignment Outer Space follows the adventures of Interplanetary News reporter Ray Peterson aboard a space station in the 21st century.
Despite problems with the base commander, and only being a simple journo, he's eventually responsible for stopping a space ship which threatens to destroy the Earth.



 
As a final note of no great importance, I noticed that if you compare the space man in the top right hand corner of the movie poster up top he seems to be a composite of these three chaps here

Toto Nella Luna (1958)

 


Totò Nella Luna is a 1958 Italian comedy which was internationally released as Toto in the Moon.
 
Anyone seen this who cares to make a comment then go right ahead.  My gut instinct says it's not actually all that funny but what do I know about Italian space comedies.  Nice suit by the way...both of them.
