Trite Formula Is
Ignored in Film
Not since the atom bomb pro
ject was launched had there been
the hushed curiousity which met
the making of George Pal’s Tech
nicolor motion picture of man s
first interplanetary voyage, "Des
tination Moon." which is slated
to open Wednesday at the Watts
Theatre
“How will they do it?" people
asked
Surely the first requisite of a
successful motion picture is en
tertainment But here was one
that dealt with what may be call
ed a fantastic subject, yet had t
be plausible. The production also
presented problems in photogra
phy never before encountered in
moviemaking
Shooting this film required the
help of outstanding scientists of*
the day, pioneers in rocket re
search, astronomers, physicists,
etc
There is a formula in Holly
wood for making a movie pay off
it is an old, moth-eaten, time
worn formula: big stars, pretty
girls, cheese cake In “Destination
Moon" there arc none of these—
but there is something else that
augurs to make the picture rank
among the all-time greats in the
film world. It is the dramatic
presentation of four men who
take the greatest gamble that
men ever took when they set out
for the moon in a rocket ship
zipping through space at 7 miles
a second and defying all the laws
of the universe.
I;, addition to the sheer dra
matic impact of the film is the
fact that here one will get an act
ual preview of the first success
ful trip to the1 moon, which, ac
cording to the best authorities,
will be made within the next 10 or
