Stranger From Venus (1954)

A man (Helmut Dantine) arrives in the British countryside at a small inn. He announces he is from the planet Venus and announces the friendly arrival of another spacecraft from Venus to give a dire warning about man's use of atomic power. A friendly alien from another planet arrives on Earth to be greeted with suspicion and hostility? Comparisons to the much superior DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL would be inevitable anyway but with Patricia Neal as the female lead in both films, the film seems to be encouraging it!  It's no match for the 1951 Robert Wise science fiction classic. It's like a cheap knockoff when you can't afford the genuine article. It's rather silly and poorly acted though Neal manages not to embarrass herself. Neal had left Hollywood and recently located to Great Britain (she married the British writer Roald Dahl) so I suppose this was what she was being offered. With Derek Bond, Nigel Green and Cyril Luckham.
