About First Men in the Moon
The world is delighted when a spacecraft containing a crew made up of the world's astronauts lands on the moon, but are shocked when the astronauts discover an old British flag and a document declaring that the moon is taken for Queen Victoria proving that the astronauts were not the first men on the moon.
Directed by Nathan Juran, First Men in the Moon leans on a strong ensemble — Edward Judd, Martha Hyer, Lionel Jeffries — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1964.
