I actually quite liked the underlying, and quite manipulative, concept of this film. "Cronyn" (Peter Graves) and his wife "Linda" (Andrea King) manage to make contact with Mars and low and behold, there's life there. Not only life, but a fairly benevolent one at that, that promises mankind salvation - quite literally - if they return to the teachings of the Bible and embrace God more fully. When this news reaches…
SEE! The first contact between Earth and Mars!
Husband-and-wife scientists pick up a pie-in-the-sky TV message supposedly from Mars.
