Apatros Review Ep-0048: Space Men [1960] ("Assignment: Outer Space")
AR-0048: The debut of legendary Italian director Antonio Margheriti [known by American audiences as "Anthony Dawson"], as well as the start of the Italian space opera boom of the 1960s, most of which was comprised of Antonio's works, this B-grade but having surprisingly decent for the time cut-price model work space movie has an intergalactic reporter pull some strings to get embedded with a deep space rescue crew & they find themselves the last line of defense to protect Earth from a dangerously unstable renegade spaceship whose reactor has created a radiation-filled "death zone" around it that will vaporize anything that gets too close. The reporter ends up being the top story instead of simply covering it.
To be honest, despite the passable model effects work, this film [original title is "Space Men" but the international English title is "Assignment: Outer Space", just so you know] is pretty disappointing by today's standards & the basic premise is now dated as heck. That being said, despite being relegated to schlock status this is interesting enough for die hard space movie fans & will be perfectly suitable for young children as there's nothing objectionable in it.
My Grade: D+ [Disappointing]
