Though it's obviously made from foam rubber, cardboard, and silver spray paint, the inscrutable face of Gort, the 8-foot-tall interstellar policeman, still beats anything in RoboCop or Judge Dredd for sheer scare power.

A narration track by director Robert Wise and amateurish interviews offer fun tidbits (can you imagine Spencer Tracy in the Michael Rennie role?) but hardly justify the stratospheric prices. B
