Editorial Reviews

First Men in the Moon is an H.G. Welles cinemadaptation from director Nathan Juran. When scientists in the year 1964 are confused by evidence of a long-ago space flight, nonagenarian Arnold Bedford (Edward Judd) explains all. Back in 1899, Bedford, eccentric scientist Joseph Cavor (Lionel Jeffries) and heroine Kate Callender (Martha Hyer) took a trip to the moon in a home-made space vehicle. Once on the lunar surface, they encountered an alien civilization resembling an ant colony, complete with "queen," soldiers and workers. How they returned, and the aftereffects of their journey, comprise the film's final third. Peter Finch appears briefly as a messenger; he happened to be visiting the set when the actor hired to play the bailiff's assistant failed to show up. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Another Classic to Rememberby JCarter

November 11, 2009: First Men In the Moon was made in the fun years of sci fi.This is another film I remember fondly from my childhood. It is the type of film that sets your mind to wondering what it would be like to do something everyone says is impossible. Plus being able to go into space from your home instead of involving the government and a space program. The visuals are more than adequate for their time and the story captures the imagination. Not to be taken seriously in any sense of the word First Men In the Moon is plain fun.

February 26, 2003: Larry D. Bohall, author of Martyr's Cry (ISBN 1591295327): I LOVED this movie as a kid, and still love to watch it now. The special effects are dated (but still worth seeing), but the film is a real delight.
