Joe Dante on EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS

The second of Ray Harryhausen's low budget Columbia series improves on It Came from Beneath the Sea thanks to a better screenplay by blacklisted Bernard Gordon and straightforward direction by the ever-employed Fred F. Sears. Unfortunately that tinny music is carried over, but it's still a classic of 50s sci fi.

This always seemed to be on on a lazy afternoon - or if a televised sporting event had been cancelled.

I remember the aliens as being quite effective. Will have to give it another viewing.
