Destination Moon (1950), starring John Archer, Warner Anderson, Tom Powers, Dick Wesson, based on a script by Robert Heinlein

Although I’d heard of Destination Moon years ago, I only saw it for the first time last night. It was enjoyable, but with a strange feeling of nostalgia. Released in 1950, it was an attempt at a look into the future — man’s first landing on the moon.
