Just saw George Pal's Destination Moon yesterday for the first time...Gads, what a frickin' letdown. Even making allowances for the fact that '50s moviemakers didn't have the advantage of being able to work with CGI or Industrial Light & Magic, this movie stunk to high heaven. If it hadn't been for the Woody Woodpecker cartoon at the ten-minute mark explaining the basics of rocket propulsion, I would have written Moon off as a total failure.
