I believe the spinning capsules used the sound of the "Dee Cee" device that looked like a Star Trek transporter as the C-57D left hyperspace. Subsequently, there were various sound effects from after landing on Altair Four, including the outdoor fight scene with the Id Monster. Also, there seem to be some Forbidden Planet props in the below decks.

Clarke, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Gene Roddenberry, and many unnamed others.

Some TRIVIA notes: Alot of the props and machinery inside the ship were later used in one of the dumbest, wackiest hilariously bad Mexican flm, SHIP OF MONSTERS 9it's on YT). This film was shot in Mexico to save costs. It wasn't fully finished properly. For instance, shots of the film in space with flames underneath it were supposed to be composited with moving stars in the background, but....were never completed. The brief opening narration and countdown voice was done by actor Robert Clarke who shortly after this film starred in and directed THE HIDEOUS SUN DEMON and starred in and produced BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER. The strange electronic music and sound effects aboard the moon-bound ship are from FORBIDDEN PLANET. Like I said, trivia! ;-7

I've never seen this and I've seen so many 50s and 60s SF movies (of gradually decreasing quality) recently... I just didn't know where to pitch my hopes... And *oh my Gosh* it's an actual quality movie! Look at that colour (glorious Technicolour - how I've missed thee, amid the desert of washed-out Italian tripe), the photography is so crisp! The cast - including people I've heard of, and well-credited in the title sequence, good-looking too (not always a sign of quality, sadly) and - *Oh Wow* - It's a *BYRON HASKIN* film! I'm so stoked for this. Thank you, Cult Cinema Classics: You've delivered a golden egg here.

One minute the workers are outside with pitchforks and death threats and the next they are celebrating the launch of the rocket! Also Nicholl says Barbicane doesn't know it but he will be going too. With nothing more said, he suddenly is going too. Almost like a scene was missing, with him saying he would not give the glass outer shell to Barbicane unless he goes. Still I did enjoy it!

This movie looks like more a remake of Fritz Lang"s Frau Im Mond (1929), though based on an 1860s Jules Verne "s story. Verne himself criticized harshly Wells ' fanciful moon expedition for using "Cavorite" , aka, " magical " anti - gravity paint for the giant steel sphere , " Il Invent ", said the great Frenchman, because his giant cannon and bullet were made of already existing matterials, and using gunpowder ( in the original story, not this "X Power" in this movie). Let me tell you that i actually did enjoy both Moon expedition stories, but I will give you credit to Verne, because he practically "invented" modern Astronautics in such an early Era when people knew aerostatic balloons and steam - powered vehicles , and not merely writing just a fiction

Interesting, you can hear a lot of the sound effects borrowed from Forbidden Planet. There's so many plot holes in this though. Like they make such a big deal about the need for those tubes so they won't get killed, yet the woman makes it ok without them. That one shot though they keep using with the rocket ship and the flames shooting down and back up, You can tell it was a prop, held up by a crane (hidden by the ship) but one shot clearly shows the crane on the side of the ship.

In Jules Vernes original novel he anticipated this and devised a method to defeat the sudden G-force effects of rapid and sudden acceleration. A series of water filled baffles inside the bottom of the projectile would collapse one at a time thusly spreading out the shock of the blast. Though technically useless and unfeasible, at least he made an attempt at addressing the issue with entertaining pseudo-science as was the case in many of his novels and short stories. He was a master of blending fact and fantasy into wonderfully compelling stories. Interestingly enough his writings and ideas also predicted a number of future inventions. Great author
