I must have seen this movie a dozen times but I never get tired of it. This dvd rendition is massively cleaned up and clear, and the sound is unbelievable for a 1951 black and white scifi flick.
The commentary with the director (Robert Wise) is very interesting as well -- for example, the military in the movie were all nation guardsmen as the US Army refused to participate in the movie; they didnt like its peaceful message!
