It Came from Outer Space
-- Chilling science fiction from Ray Bradbury's story about an amateur astronomer (Richard Carlson) who sights a UFO landing in the Arizona desert, then discovers that the area's inhabitants, including his girlfriend (Barbara Rush), are being taken over by aliens. Director Jack Arnold uses the isolated desert setting to heighten the sense of menace in the strange proceedings, though the aliens' intentions ultimately prove more benign than threatening. Imaginative family fare with an upbeat ending. (A-I) (br)
