It is a great one, Officer Torch, and was once a staple on television. I first saw it as a kid, probably in the 1960s or early 1970s. It is an underrated science fiction classic, imaginative and action-packed.

Among the cast is Russell Johnson, who a decade later would find television fame as the Professor on Gilligan's Island.

The Monitor of Metaluna is played by Douglas Spencer, who earlier had a larger role as the reporter Scotty in another 1950s classic, The Thing (1951), aka The Thing from Another World.

This Island Earth saw its American premiere on June 1, 1955!
