First Man Into Space (1959) US 1 Sheet Poster #New

Admittedly inspired by The Quatermass Xperiment (1955), Robert Day's thoughtful but staidly shot tale at least tries to provide a scientific rationale for events, and has a more emotional finale than other entries in the genre. It also ends with a lovely shot of the MGM Borehamwood studio corridor...

The test pilot stock footage gives Chuck Yeager an uncredited appearance.
