Rico,
I have read in reviews, certain disfavors with attempted humor
with robot and cook. I didn't find that scene particularly funny,
but it didn't offend me, OTOH, if it were to have somehow
been left on the cutting room floor, that wouldn't have bothered me much either.
Concerning your critisicm of "Rocketship XM": Was there no
plausible reason give for deviation, e.g., gyro-stablizers
malfunctioning, etc.?
Why does R-XM earn a special place in your heart vis-a-vis
DM, even though you say DM is a superior movie? What is it that
is so appealing to you about R-XM,WWC and CoS? ~AH

I haven't seen "Rocketship XM" in a while so I can't remember the justification for why they chenged course and ended up on Mars. As I said, I saw it as a youngster and it stuck with me, expecially the tinted Martian scenes and the Martians themselves. As for the others, the stories are imaginative and the special effects well done for their time. "Conquest..." is another not so good film that did make an impression upon me as a teen.

  Rico,
  I was reluctant to recommend "The Angry Red Planet"-1959, but
  since you liked red Martian tints and imaginative effects, I
  will recommend it. Features 'CineMagic' a solarized, red tint
  while astronauts are on Mars, various creatures, e.g., flesh-eating
  plants, giant 40 Ft high 'rat-bat-spider-crab, giant rotating-eye
  ameoba, Martian spies and a Martian metropolis. Think it features
  a jazz xylophone number too! Acting, dialogue, plot subpar though.
  For diehard 50's sci-fi fans. Angry Red Planet made a big, lasting
  impression on my young mind back in the 50s.
  Happy Viewing,
  ~AH
