I bought that recently and agree is was pretty good, except that some of the characters were just too much. I bought this movie in my effort to collect old "B" movies from the 50's. Some friends of mine and I have decided to have a once a month "B-movie buffet" with dinner and a movie. I'm sure we'll end up with commentary that will sound like Mystery Science Theater 3000 and here's a list of the movies in my first order.

4D Man (not bad, actually, about a fellow who can move through things)

First Spaceship on Venus (really cheesy about a mission to save Earth from a rogue space station)

Atomic War Bride/This Is Not a Test ("War Bride" is from Yugoslavia and is actually pretty good and "Test" has the cop (and dialog) of your worst nightamare in it. There's also some extras including old fallout shelter commercials).

H.G. Wells - Things to Come (classic and a must for any sci-fi fan)

Assignment:Outer Space (really, REALLY cheesy...I never quite figured this one out)

Invisible Invaders / Journey to the Seventh Planet (haven't watched this one yet but "Invaders" looks like an early attempt at "Night of the Living Dead")

Conquest of Space (you nailed it, not bad)
