When Worlds Collide is a 1951 apocalyptic drama produced by George Pal (War of the Worlds), directed by Rudolph Maté and written by Sydney Boehm based on the novel by Philip Gordon Wylie and Edwin Balmer. A classic Sunday afternoon TV matinee film of my childhood, that isn’t available on Blu-ray yet, I thought I’d take a look at the iTunes 1080p download.
In When Worlds Collide, the Earth is threatened with impending destruction by the appearance in the solar system of two rogue planetoids, Bellus and Zyra. Pilot David Randall (Richard Derr) finds himself involved in a race against time to build a ‘space-Ark’ to carry a handful or survivors to Zyra, where they can rebuild the human race.
