First Men in the Moon (1964)

Second viewing; the first one was on June 4, 1991.

An expedition to the moon finds out that other humans had been there before. A search locates the only living member of that earlier trip, and he tells all about it.

A fun film, no matter how ridiculous it may seem today (and, I suspect, even at its own time). Jeffries' performance is especially good, the script is agile, the stop-motion animation effects are beautiful, etc.

Rating: 51 (up from 43)
