Bill Russo's video: First Spaceship On Venus: The Venusians are gone but they left something dreadful behind

The first Spaceship on Venus was first released in East Germany in 1960. This English language version of the movie was distributed in America under several other titles, including The Silent Star, Planet of the Dead, and Spaceship Venus Does Not Reply. After finding an ancient, long-buried flight recorder that originally came from an alien craft, apparently from Venus, an earth spaceship is sent on the long voyage to the second planet from the Sun. . When the earthmen arrive on the far-off planet, they find that the Venusians are gone, but their machines remain functioning, including the radiation-bombardment machine intended for Earth. One of the scientists accidentally triggers the weapon, leading to a frantic effort by the team to disarm it. British Film Director Alex Cox, says of the production, “the images of melted cities and crystallized forests, overhung by swirling clouds of gas, are masterpieces of production design. The scene in which three cosmonauts are menaced halfway up a miniature Tower of Babel, by an encroaching sea of sludge may not entirely convince most viewers, but it is still a heck of a thing to see".
