An international team of 12 scientists, along with a menagerie of animals, including a Cocker Spaniel dog, blast off for the unknown satellite. Luckily, the crew has their seatbelt-equipped, foldable, patio lounge chairs for added comfort. Plagued by meteors and nationalistic quibbling, they finally reach their destination.
Upon arrival, the explorers soon realize that the Moon is a cruel mistress indeed.
12 TO THE MOON is a silly, but enjoyable sci-fi yarn from a far more innocent time. Ken Clark is as stiff and stolid as ever in his Commander role. Tom Conway provides a dubious Russian accent. The Cocker Spaniel provides the cuteness. This is all topped off with an utterly absurd finale.
The rocket's interior and some of the equipment may be quite familiar to fans of movies like ANGRY RED PLANET or JOURNEY TO THE 7TH PLANET. This movie is recommended especially for lovers of such harmless, interplanetary fluff...
