    I saw this when it first appeared in 1961 and greatly disliked it. Seeing it again as an adult & in a colorized version allowed me to enjoy it more for its campiness and psychotronic silliness. I also think it is one of few examples I can think of which actually benefits from colorization. The film contains the lovely horror queen, Colleen Gray & the grey-haired legend of the screen, Francis X. Bushman (who played Ben Hur back in 1926), plus the ex-warbler, Dick Haynes in a non-singing role. There are reasons to watch THE PHANTOM PLANET, especially if you have a hard to explain nostalgic love affair with 1950’s & ’60’s cheesy science fiction films. While lead Dean Fredericks had a solid career in film & television, his character here is not very likeable.
