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.
Let us not forget "Robinson Crusoe on Mars".
Mission Mars-1968. ~AH
