Movie, 1963

Largely effective sci-fi thriller, showing its British-ness in all its glory, with Ministry men, scientists and aliens all going about their respective business, with the main action involving a good deal or running about and the more pointed alien activity coming from the main female character, who sleeps with her eyes open and doesn’t use oven gloves. Still, a decent film with some flashy camera angles here and there, all very redolent of The Avengers; a series many of the concerned were later involved in. Good fun, some high style and pretty decent entertainment into the bargain.
