Jesus Treviño on

When Worlds Collide

Released 1951
Distributor Paramount

First of the runaway-planet-soon-to-hit-Earth movies, remade and ripped off so frequently in recent years that no less than Lars Von Trier has one coming up soon! Cecil B. DeMille considered making this for Paramount in 1935, but it wasn’t until 1951 that George Pal was able to get it up and running, albeit with a DeMille-like introductory narration to start it off. Budget-challenged but spectacular in its day. Pal always dreamt of doing a sequel, but it never panned out. Vet heavy John Hoyt scores as the wheelchair-bound billionaire.
