Good old sci fi

This movie suprised me. I thought I was going to see a cheesy old science fiction movie. But this movie, for its time, is actually really good. The special effects are pretty impressive for a film this old, and I love the design of the spaceship. I have no idea what kind of budget this movie was done on, but there are a lot of scenes in this movie that look BIG budget! The sets are very impressive, lavish and expansive. And the enviornment of Venus is detailed, spooky, and bizarre. I didn't care for the little plastic spiders, I thought that was distractingly goofy. I was very suprised to see such a forward thinking and racially diversified cast. For its time, such diversity was totally unheard of. Its a little long and slightly boring, but for good old fashioned sci fi, with cool alien landscapes and bizarre spaceships, this is a must see. Thats why I am rating this movie fairly high, giving it an 8.

Wissenswertes
In the US, this was distributed in an edited and English- dubbed version as "First Spaceship on Venus" through Crown International. It was at the top of a prepackaged double feature with Varan the Unbelievable (1962). It became Crown's most successful double feature since, unlike other Crown releases, it was booked into many theaters as well as drive-ins.

Patzer
The narrator mentions that one of the crew has created a special food formula for the crew to be able to consume and digest in zero gravity, yet everyone is walking around as if on planet Earth. This is not a goof, since (at least in the original German version) after a time spent in zero gravity, they show the crew activating an artificial gravity field, which allows them to walk around as if they were on Earth.

Alternative Versionen
This film was released in the United States as _First Spaceship on Venus (1962)_. This version was edited down to 80 minutes, dubbed into English, and had Andrzej Markowski's score replaced by a stock score prepared by Gordon Zahler of the General Music Corporation.
