First men in the moon.
Author - H G Wells.
A classic 60s film in DVD quality.
Information; ~~~~~~~ I had actually heard this movie on an audio tape several years ago, the audio had the voices of Leonard Nimoy (Spock) and John De Lancie (Q)
The film is a cracker! The eccentric and easily distractible professor Cavor is played by the wonderful Lionel Jeffries.
Edward Judd and Martha Hyer play his fellow travellers. (on the audio, no woman accompanied them). Ray Harryhausen's provides the special effects, 60s style.
Synopsis; ~~~~~~ Professor Cavor invents 'Cavorite' which has the properties of 'Anti-Gravity' He, along with his two companions, travel to the moon but find that under the surface live the Selenites. The Selenites are Bug like, child sized and sentient creatures. Cavor wishes to communicate with them and indeed succeeds but all the Selenites want is the secret of Cavorite in order to launch an invasion upon the Earth.
Bedford is a realist and realises the danger they are all in. He is ready and willing to kill in order to escape back to earth and raise the alarm of a pending invasion. The twist at the end is a corker.
Cast; ~~~ Professor Cavor - Lionel Jeffries. Mr Bedford - Edward Judd. Kate - Martha Hyer.
The DVD includes; ~~~~~~~~~~~ 'This is Dynamation' A featurette that tells you about the Dynamation process. 'The Harryhausen Chronicles' Gives background information into the life of one of the movie world's greatest special effects innovators. Detailing the stop-motion techniques.

I marked as somewhat helpful as you have not reviewed or given us much of your opinion at all on this film. a list of cast members, a list of what is on the DVD, an extremely brief synopsis and some other info.
