    Editorial Reviews

    Flight to Mars is the second American film of the postwar era (after the previous year's Rocketship X-M) to depict a manned space trip to the Red Planet. Leading-man responsibilities are evenly divided between Arthur Franz as brilliant scientist Dr. Jim Barker and Cameron Mitchell as two-fisted reporter Steve Abbott. Both men make the journey to Mars, finding time along the way to battle over the affections of leading lady Virginia Huston. Upon landing on Mars, the earthlings learn that planetary leader, Ikron (Morris Ankrum, a fixture of 1950s sci-fi), intends to conquer the world. Fortunately a group of good Martians are on hand to lend moral and physical support to the heroes. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    December 08, 2003: I also feel that this transfer could have been much better. I have this film on VHS. I collect 1950's era SciFi and I have been purchasing the DVD's to replace my VHS copies. Unfortunately, this one will have to wait as the VHS copy is so superior to the DVD print that I intent to send it back. Save your money.

    July 10, 2002: This is one of the worst quality tranfers to DVD I have ever seen. Simply horrible. Film burn-in right in the center of the screen for most of the film, horrible splices right in the middle of a couple of scenes with important dialogue that leaves you wondering what the heck they said. No excuse for this crap. There should be a warning on the packaging regarding this DVD. Now, I have purchased many old sci-fi DVDs like this one with absolutely no complaints including other similar titles from Image Entertainment who put this junk out. In addition, I have tried to contact Image Entertainment reagrding this DVD and my emails have gone ignored. If you really need to buy this then wait for it to get to the $4.99 bin where it truly belongs.
