That is a great movie.
It was horror but I think it also qualifies as SF.
Which movie from the late 1940s to about 1961 had a scene in which the astronomical observatory had developed a major telescope that recorded images of the Earth when it was in the Dinosaur age? It didn’t make scientific sense, but it was an intriguing takeoff of the time dilation effect. I only saw a few minuted of this movie on a black & white television set in the very early 1960s. I’ve often wondered which movie it was and what they did with the rest of the show.
“Not Of This Earth”, 1957
Five (1951). Five people left alive on the Earth, one woman and four men.
Another Liberal fantasy film....
