Solid science fiction story of the first journey to the Moon, co-scripted by Robert A. Heinlein and produced by George Pal with an eye toward technical accuracy (insofar as possible) in projecting a realistic account of such a trip. The story is fairly basic and at times a little slow, but it does eventually ramp up the excitement as the crew confronts the possibility that they may not all be able to return to Earth. Well worth a look.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.

Movie 348 for 2021.
