12 to the Moon (1960)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by David Bradley
My rating: BOMB
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Sony Screen Classics by Request)

Twelve astronauts from different countries, along with a dog, two cats and some birds, travel to the moon. Along the way, they fight with each other, mainly over politics. Once on the moon, they are contacted via alien hieroglyphics which the Japanese woman can instantly translate. However, the moon people want the cats, which they find more interesting than the humans. They also allow two people to stay behind: a couple who instantly fell in love when they took their helmets off in a cave with air. Back on Earth, the moon people have unleashed a frozen attack, leaving everyone in suspended animation. It's up to the rocket crew to save the planet by exploding a bomb in a volcano. WOW.
