Journey to the Far Side of the Sun Movie Review

From the creators of the classic TV puppet shows Supercar and Thunderbirds comes this unjustly neglected adventure that, like the new planet that inspires the title journey, is worthy of discovery. Roy Thinnes (of The Invaders) stars as an astronaut who is sent to the heretofore hidden planet that lies, as the title indicates, on the far side of the sun with an orbit parallel to the Earth. Needlessly overplotted, but neat special effects and an ending worthy of The Twilight Zone. AKA: Doppelganger.

1969 (G) 92m/C GB Roy Thinnes, Ian Hendry, Lynn Loring, Patrick Wymark, Loni von Friedl, Herbert Lom, Ed Bishop; D: Robert Parrish; W: Gerry Anderson. VHS, Beta, LV MCA
