When this came out in 1951 I was seven or eight years old and I thought that this was positively the best movie I had ever seen. Years later I read the story that the movie was based on only find that Gort was the master and Michael Rennie was his lackey. The Tom Cruise remake was only in title and concept...the invader's killing machines scared the crap out of me at age sixty-seven!
Somebody needs to tell that geezer dope Mike Britt that he is confusing the remake of War of the Worlds with the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still.

I'd tell him if I saw him, maybe, but it's been so long I'm not sure I'd recognize him.
