Soviet SF flick from 1959 (think Sputnik). Rocket launch scene. Film was "Nebo Zovyot" (the heavens call), which has never been released in the west. Like all Soviet films the movie is stunningly dull, but the visuals are wonderful and truly capture the period. Roger Corman bought rights to Nebo Zovyot and used the special effects in two wonderful, campy flicks: Battle Beyond the Sun and Planet of Blood, both highly recommended for fans of the psychotronic. Francis Ford Copolla was the associate producer of one of them! Both of Corman's films are available on Amazon.com. The original russian version of Nebo Zovyot is no where to be found. Would love to buy a copy if anyone has a lead on where to find it!!
