(1962, aka NEBO ZOVYOT) Ivan Pereverzev, Aleksandr Shvorin, Konstantin Bartashevich, Gurgen Tonunts. Two rival countries race to have the first successful landing on Mars. Some great outer space scenes with really hilarious-looking monsters doing battle against each other. The monsters were actually added to the American release print by Roger Corman when he bought the U.S. distribution rights. Some fans don't care for this monster footage but we think it's kind of cool and definitely adds some perk to anotherwise fairly dry Soviet science fiction film. Nice color, from 16mm.
