  • When Worlds Collide (1951) Oh, wow. The planet Zyra and the star Bellus are hurtling toward Earth! Zyra will pass close enough to cause chaos on Earth ("1:00 on the afternoon of July 24," to be precise)... There will be tidal waves! Eruptions! Nineteen days later Bellus will collide with Earth and destroy us all! After this discovery is made by a scientist in South Africa, our dashing star, David, a mere courier, is hired to fly the data to the American scientist Dr. Hendron. Dr. Hendron's scientist daughter Joyce is immediately smitten with David, eventually dumps her fiance, and sets off the love story portion of the movie. Dr. Hendron, meanwhile, is laughed at by the scientific community when he makes his information public. He ignores the laughter, though, and sets off to build a rocket that will take about 40 lucky people away from Earth before the star hits and land them on Zyra, where they hope to start a new colony for the survival of our culture. This for me was the ultimate 50's kitch B movie. Please don't ask me why but i just loved it! It was silly, not very realistic, even more badly made, but it seemed to have everything from fear and love and hope through to sheer senimentality, when the puppies were born at the end, and then the ending wth the biblical overtones it just seemed to grab me and i must admit that every time they show i watch it!!!!!! I'm just a sucker for the kitch movies (and believe me theres plenty of themout there) lol
