War Of The Worlds (1952) (Special Edition)

Byron Haskin, 1952

War Of The Worlds (1952) (Special Edition) Trailer

 

Film Description

This 1952 re-telling of HG Wells' novel owes a great deal to the brilliance of Orson Welles' infamous radio broadcast. The special effects were state of the art for their time and the alien ships glide coolly through the city annihilating everything in their path giving the extermination a deep sense of terror and foreboding far greater than the average B-Movie.
