Trivia: When Polly is reporting the advance of the giant robots on the phone to her editor, she says "They've reached Sixth Avenue... they've reached Fifth Avenue... they're a hundred yards away..." This is an exact line taken from the famous 1938 radio adaptation of "The War of the Worlds," with Orson Welles.
