MAN FROM PLANET X 1951 (MGM)

Director Edgar Ulmer helms a classic early 50's invasion film.

Robert Clarke and Margaret Field star as two people who are trying to stop an alien invasion on the Scottish moors by an alien who is waiting until his planet comes closest to Earth and then will guide his other ships here.

William Schallert is Dr. Mears, a baddie who tries to force the alien to give up it's secrets and pays for it. The sets are very minimal and the budget is very low, but Ulmer knew how to handle this and he does his usual excellent job directing on very small sets.

One of the earliest "invasion of Earth" mvies and one of the best. Recommended!!
