Pro:
It would be virtually impossible to deliberately make a film as bad as this and have it be anywhere near as endearing and entertaining.
Gregory Walcott struggles admirably to keep the film together despite the incompetence around him.
Vampira - she doesn't actually do anything, but who cares.
Con:
Criswell's speech switches tenses.
Criswell's hair
The co-pilot is a dick (and a creeper)
"Death, the proud brother" Say what?
"The sky to which he had once looked was now only a covering for her dead body. The ever-beautiful flowers she had planted with her own hands became nothing more than the lost roses of her cheeks." You just don't get quality dialog like that nowadays.
If your star dies during production and you need to finish his scenes, try getting someone who's at least the same height.
The lovely piece of camerawork which films the cop car coming to a stop halfway out of the frame.
Mona McKinnon's wretched delivery of "but I'll be in there!"
Great idea to give so many lines to Tor Johnson, who can barely speak English.
"One thing's for sure, Inspector Clay's dead. Murdered. And somebody's responsible!" - ace detective work there, chief.
"You'll be out of that uniform before you know it, Larry."
The colonel casts a shadow on the "sky."
"Visits? Why, that would indicate visitors." Brilliant!
"What do you think will be the next obstacle the Earth people will put in our way?" "Well, as long as they can think - we'll have our problems." Brilliant!
The ruler's lengthy speech about marching on the capitals... a delivery of such incompetence that has to be seen to be believed, even allowing for an amateur actor.
Atmospheric conditions in outer space.
"Then they attacked a town, a small town I'll admit, but never the less a town of people, people who died."
The dichtarobot or whatever the hell the device to allow the aliens and humans to converse with each other is called. The aliens' lip movements are clearly consistent with the English we hear.
