Really, This Film Was A Foreshadowing Of The Trump Administration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                    Darlings, how could I have known?  I was not even ten- years- old, when I first saw "Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers," so far from me to realize it had so much socio-political content!



                                      The saucers, whose alien inhabitants are smarter than Trump and his team, zero in on Washington D.C., and I am telling you, when the Capitol was destroyed, it was like predicting January 6 of last year.  Come to think of it, the authority figures in this film were pretty moronic, so to see this film today is to look at the mess our nation is in now.


                                           But the real mystery of this film is what happened to Hugh Marlowe's career!  Having been in both "Meet Me In St. Louis" (1944) and "All About Eve" (1950), and so good looking--his body shot at the end is gorgeous! -- and with a cultured speaking voice, he should have been a major star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  But he did land in some well-known films, which is more than can be said for yours truly.


                                             While there is a campiness to this 1956 film, be prepared for the social prescience it suddenly seems to have.


                                               Making it equally disturbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
