A lightweight dollop of sci-fi, 12 To The Moon dispatched a dozen passengers of both sexes and several nationalities to the Moon.
The twelve members of the first multi-national expedition to the lunar surface discover subterranean Moon Men, a peace-loving mob who threaten to freeze Earth unless mankind mends their warring ways.
Heading the expedition is earthling Ken Clark, with Tom Conway as a Russian, John Wengraf as the son of a Nazi, Richard Weber as an Israeli scientist whose parents were killed by Nazi Wengraf, Anna-Lisa (a Swedish research chemist) and the director of the whole project (and the object of Anna-Lisa’s affections), Francis X. Bushman. Philip Baird went along for the ride.
Written by DeWitt Bodeen, writer of the classic Cat People(1982), and directed by David Bradley, this tedious minor quickie focuses on the astronauts’ personal problems, petty squabbling and juvenile moralising more than any special effects-driven drama.
