Michael Rennie(sp?) was beloved by girls back in the day after that film came out. I wonder if the same swooning effect will follow Keanu after his incarnation as Klattu. And yes, a great message movie for the times. I have zero hope this remake will in any way capture the magic of the original based on the apparently heavy handed use of CGI seen in the previews although I wouldn't mind being surprised.
FWIW, I first saw it on Saturday Night at the Movies around 1958 or so, Gort scared the crap outta 8 yr old me.
