(1965, Upgraded 7/11/22) Terrance Morgan, Jessica Dunning, Joseph O’Conor, Hannah Gordon, George Pastell. An excellent B&W made-for-TV Brit feature. The Earth has blown up! No one knows why or how—it just happened. One lonely Earth survivor (Morgan) is a nomadic tinker on Mars. He spurns the love of a Martian woman in favor of shipping out to a colony on Venus, hoping to build a better life. But things are not what he expected on the misty planet. This terrific film has much thoughtful dialogue and many fine scenes with spaceships, far-off planets, alien races, etc... You’ll remember Pastell as the High Priest of Karnak in Hammer’s The Mummy (1959). Very cool.
