Kieron Moore and Janette Scott were only added to the cast when it was discovered upon completion of filming that there was only 57 minutes of good usable footage available. The whole lighthouse sequence, directed by veteran Cinematographer Freddie Francis, was only added to help extend the movie's running time.
The American naval base in southern Spain referenced by Bill Masen is real. It's called Rota Naval Station, but it's not in Cadiz; it's actually across the Bay of Cadiz, in the little town of Rota. It's a Spanish naval base, leased by the Americans.
The novel, published by Penguin Books, sold over a million copies by 1981. It's been translated into several languages. John Wyndham wrote the novel in 1951; by 1981 it had been reprinted 34 times.
More si fi with... Memoirs of an Invisible Man, 1992...

One of my all-time favs now with A New Leaf, 1971.. Directed and written by and starring Elaine May and Walter Matthau.
The film was a critical success upon its initial release. However, despite several accolades, award nominations, and a Radio City Music Hall run, A New Leaf fared poorly at the box office and remains little known by the general public. It is now considered a cult classic.

The film was well received by critics. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 94% based on 68 reviews, with an average score of 8.10/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Elaine May is a comedic dynamo both behind and in front of the camera in this viciously funny screwball farce, with able support provided by Walter Matthau."
Roger Ebert gave the film four stars out of four, and described the film as "hilarious, and cockeyed, and warm." In his review for The New York Times, Vincent Canby called it "a beautifully and gently cockeyed movie that recalls at least two different traditions of American film comedy... The entire project is touched by a fine and knowing madness." The film was placed at #2 on Gene Siskel's list of the best movies of 1971.
Elaine Mays cut was at 180 mins and too her 10 months to do. The film was taken from her and re-edited at current run time of 102 mins. Apparently everyone bar May thought this version several times better and funnier.
