Rocket Attack U.S.A. [1958]

The second film we watched was "Rocket Attack USA", a cheap cash in on fear of Russians during the Cold War after the Russian's released Sputnik, told like a news reel.

The Best Scene: As everyone in New York runs for shelter, a blind man walks down the street and feels someone pass him and exclaimed an annoyed, "Help me." I can't even convey how perfect he says it but it has just the right amount of confusion that no one is bothering to help and annoyance that he even has to ask.

If you want to see a less boring version of "Rocket Attack USA", Mystery Science Theatre 3000 did an episode on it and you can watch it here.
