It's certainly one of the best from that era. I tried watching "Doctor
Cyclops" the other day but the commercials were annoying. I'm going to get a
DVD and watch it without interruption. It was the first sci-fi film to use
Technicolor.
BTW: I think another differential analyzer shows up in the movie "Meteor"
(starring Joan Woodward and Sean Connery), but I'm not certain.
