That movie gave me nightmares, if it's the one I'm thinking of.

It's been ages since I've seen it, but it didn't give me nightmares. It was made in 1951 or thereabouts: a spaceship lands in Washington DC and is surrounded by the military, even though the envoy is there with peaceful intentions, as well as a bit of a warning to the world (we had entered the nuclear age).
A quote from the movie:
Reporter: I suppose you are just as scared as the rest of us.
Klaatu: In a different way, perhaps. I am fearful when I see people substituting fear for reason.
I'm kind of inspired to go watch it again, now that I'm thinking about it.

Terri, Wayne, Claudia, thank you thank you
Arti - this is a new painting but an old theme of mine and was the first time back to acrylics since switching to oils several months ago. And I have a lot of acrylic paint to use up.
Those old sci-fi movies had terrific posters too.

Nah, great ideas are bound to recur in great minds over time; think of it that wayI guess I should add "after Panicale" on my title

I keep coming back to look at this one, Bongo! It seems to be that moment just before everyone realizes that things have become really weird. The closest foreground figure seems to be looking up, but the rest are playing (i love the pair tossing a ball) and running, oblivious to those ominous "clouds." Unsettling...
