Visible crew/equipment: After the demonstration at the blackboard, the big group of soldiers walk over to the big table with the picture of the world on it. As they walk away from the blackboard, they turn and walk down some steps, and as they do you can see the shadow of a boom mic pole on the upper side of the grey part of the wall. (00:55:40)

The War of the Worlds is a classic tale of man's conceit over all other life as visitors from Mars first take over with air-ships, then probes, spacemen and even vampire devices (!) until Humanity is crushed! Only a few, brave souls stand a chance against them in this science fiction film. Decent special effects buoy up this movie from the rest, where people mostly die from vaporization. Watch this before taking in the others.

Dr Clayton Forrester: We prayed for a miracle.
Trivia: The reporter speaking into the tape recorder just before the atom bomb is used is Paul Frees. Even today (though he passed away years ago) Frees is still the voice of the 'ghost host' in the Haunted Mansion rides at the Disney parks, as well as Ludwig Von Drake and many other cartoon characters.
