Journey To The Seventh Planet (1962)

It's the year 2001 and the planet is governed by the United Nations who send an international team of scientists to explore the planet Uranus. What they discover is a charming Danish village populated by sexy women. But there's a devious motive behind it all. Co-written, produced and directed by Sidney Pink so we know where to lay the blame! While there's actually a halfway decent concept behind all this, its execution is silly and badly acted. It plays like an extended episode of THE OUTER LIMITS (though I daresay the acting would be better) which would have done the work in a shorter time. The film was shot in Denmark for under a $100,000 with John Agar (dreadful as usual) imported from the U.S. for box office.  The special effects are poor and it's not even bad enough to qualify as "camp". There's even a cheesy love song called JOURNEY TO THE SEVENTH PLANET that plays over the end credits ("somewhere on the seventh planet, out in space, you and I will find a magic place"). With Greta Thyssen, Carl Ottosen, Peter Monch, Ove Sprogoe and Ann Smyrner.
