First Man Into Space -- In this interstellar cautionary tale, brash U.S. Navy test pilot Dan Prescott, hungry for fame, rockets himself beyond Earth's atmosphere, only to become encrusted with cosmic dust and return a blood-drinking monster.

In one of many road movies from Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, Harry (Crosby) and Chester (Hope) travel to Tibet in search of a drug that will restore Chester's memory. Once cured, his memory becomes so good that he accidentally memorizes a secret formula for space navigation. The two meet a beautiful spy (Joan Collins) and get sidetracked … to another planet! Dorothy Lamour, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin are among those sharing the madcap adventure.
