The War Of The Worlds (George Pal, 1953)
Directed by one of the masters of science fiction cinema, the George Pal version of The War Of The Worlds relocates the action to cold war America, with the Martian war machines re-invented as sinister flying machines. The US army throws all its considerable might against the invaders, including an iconic nuclear weapon, but its still germs that save the day.

The Night America Trembled (1957)
This is an extraordinary live production from the renowned Studio One televsion series. Written by Nelson Bond and narrated by the famous news broadcaster Edward R Murrow, it re-enacts the infamous Orson Welles War Of The Worlds radio broadcast of 1938 in fantastic detail.

The War of the Worlds H.G Wells (1866-1946)

Alien life, invasion, evolution, and the possible extinction of the human race are all found in Wells' 1898 novel The War of the Worlds. The book tells the story of a Martian invasion of Earth. The Martians, fleeing their own planet because its resources are depleted, invade our Earth, landing in England, sweeping through the countryside, destroying or capturing everything in their path. Any effort by the humans to thwart the Martian advance is crushed; the alien invaders seem unstoppable. Unstoppable until the very end of the book when a common germ eliminates the Martian threat. The Martians have no natural immunity to the germ - and capitulate.

H.G Wells, (1866-1946), English novelist, journalist, sociologist, and historian, famous for his works of science fiction. Wells's best-known books are The Time Machine (1895), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War Of The Worlds (1898).

H.G. Wells was born on September 21, 1866 in Bromley, Kent. In 1883 Wells became a teacher-pupil at Midhurst Grammar School. He obtained a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London and studied biology under T.H. Huxley. However, his interest faltered and in 1887 he left without a degree. He taught in private schools for four years, not taking his B.S. degree until 1890. Next year he settled in London, married his cousin Isabel and continued his career as a teacher in a correspondence college. From 1893 Wells became a full-time writer. After some years Wells left Isabel for one of his brightest students, Amy Catherine, whom he married in 1895.

As a novelist Wells made his debut with The Time Machine(1895), a parody of English class division and a satirical warning that human progress is not inevitable. The work was followed by such science-fiction classics as The Island Of Dr. Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897) and The War of the Worlds (1898). The First Men On The Moon (1901) was a prophetic description of the methodology of space flight and The War In The Air (1908) describes a catastrophic aerial war. Love And Mr. Lewisham appeared in 1900, Tono-Bungay and The History Of Mr. Polly in 1909. Wells also published critical pamphlets attacking the Victorian social order, among them Anticipations (1901), Mankind In The Making (1903) and A Modern Utopia (1905). In The Holy Terror (1939) Wells studied the psychological development of a modern dictator based on the careers of Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler. Wells lived through World War II in his house on Regent's Park, refusing to let the blitz drive him out of London. His last book, Mind At The End Of Its Tether (1945), expressed pessimism about mankind's future prospects. Wells died in London on August 13, 1946. www.online-literature.com
