This movie is currently available on YouTube. It consists of the presentation of the Mercury Theater production of "War of the Worlds" and simultaneously shows various gullible folks around the US reacting to it...and believing the invasion from Mars is real. It's a very famous and well documented event and one the film does a great job in recreating...live and in all its vividness. The acting and production are very good and I think it's a great way to experience what it was like to listen to it in 1938...far better than just listening to a recording of the radio broadcast. On hand are a variety of 1970s stars and I remember watching this when it acme on in the 70s and just watched it again tonight...and was impressed both times.
