This film is short(Thank goodness) and very lame in my mind. Here is what all I thought of this piece and what they did. 1962 brought a dandy show to 'nabe theaters everywhere. Savant, aged 11, saw the full page ads in the Los Angeles Herald Examiner and practically went nuts. "You Are There ... on Mankind's Greatest Adventure!" First Spaceship on Venus, in TotalScope and Technicolor, and Varan, the UnBelievable. Since neither film was longer than an hour and twenty minutes, my hometown theater ground out 4 complete cycles a day. On the Saturday I went the double bill filled the house with hundreds of candy-eating, popcorn-tossing kids. We didn't have a clue about what we were watching. We didn't know that both features were recycled foreign productions, presumably bought cheaply and retooled to amuse American kiddies. Varan had a monster. It smashed things and roared loudly. Spaceship had what looked like a full-sized rocket taking off, lots of futuristic hardware on display and a unique and exotic planet looking nothing like the cardboard scenery of Missle to the Moon.Read full review
Standard and funny space fare for the time. No one knew anything about space flight so writers had a free reign. Fun to watch.
