Hi,
Last night I watched the sci-fi classic (This Island Earth). The professor from Gilligans Island co stars. After the first scene, a Shooting Star jet flying around I watched the second scene in a new light.
The star and another scientist received an unknown schematic to build something called a (interossitor). They put 33 thousand volts thru what they thought might be a little condenser but was a little glowing tube.
It was 1955, vintage stuff and all I could see was Samra and Airtime as these 2 actors.
When the interossitor was completed, it looked like a triangular tv set. A man with certain instructions was seen. I didn't think then but now I'm thinking Vinnie....anyone seen this movie?....Mark Korda

Good movie and I've seen it a number of times. I liked that part where they get the "kit" and have to put it together. If it were Mike Samra that interossiter would have had better sound , a better picture and tuned in a better planet.

I really enjoy those old movies and the silly things that happen in them. Like WHY!!! would you need a machine gun on a space ship!!!!!

I'm curious, why did you think of me? Was it because the alien looked how you imagine I look, or was it because the machine self-destructed when the message was over? : ) Vinnie
