A decent science-fiction film for its time, even if a bit preachy. I would say that it pushes the views of the movement that at the time was known as anti-anti-Communism, which did not feel that Communism presented any real threat to the West, in spite of its openly stated goal to conquer the world. These people claimed that they were not Communist sympathizers, but in most cases really were.
I liked Patricia Neal's performance. Apparently, she thought it was a totally forgettable flying-saucer movie at the time, but even so she did not just mail it in. The effects were super-cheesy, but we get spoiled by modern cinema effects, and I cannot hold it against the movie.
