Immediate Disaster (aka Stranger From Venus) 1954
Tonight, first contact will be made! A beautifully-crafted tale of a superior being from Venus who has the power of life and death at his touch. Academy Award-winning actress Patricia Neal’s glowing and sensitive performance as a woman caught up in the biggest event in history is complemented by Helmut Dantine’s powerful, moving portrayal as the Stranger. Suggested by events in the sci-fi classic “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” this film is a touching, humanizing and haunting story of “first contact” with a peaceful and advanced intelligence from another planet coming to Earth with an ultimatum and out-of-this-world powers to back it up.
