Notes
Mankind's Most Incredible Journey!
Based on the best-selling novel The Astronauts by Poland's most famous science fiction writer, Stanislaw Lem, First Spaceship On Venus had been called "the first influential post-war space opera from Eastern Europe" (Aurum Film Encyclopedia). A spectacular Technicolor adventure, presented here for the first time on DVD in a widescreen "letterbox" edition. -Wade Williams
