3 unusual facts about The Flying Saucer


The Flying Saucer

A wealthy American playboy, Mike Trent (Mikel Conrad), who was raised in that remote region, is recruited to assist a Secret Service agent in exploring that area to determine what the Soviets have found.

In 1953 the film was re-released in the USA by Realart Pictures Inc., on a double-bill with Atomic Monster, the retitled-reissue of Man Made Monster, originally released in 1941 by Universal Pictures.

This was the first feature film to deal with the (then) new and hot topic of flying saucers; it has no relationship to the later Ray Harryhausen film Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, released by Columbia Pictures.
