The 1953 adaptation of H.G.Wells science-fiction classic The War of the Worlds produced by George Pal has been long absent from Blu-ray, I thought I’d do a quick review of the 1080p iTunes HD version.
After Paramount purchased the rights to the book in the mid 1920s the project went though a number of false starts. After being offered to Cecile B. DeMille, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, it finally landing in the lap of George Pal, who was by that point a science-fiction veteran with Destination Moon and When Worlds Collide already under his belt.
