Starring Patricia Neal, Helmut Dantine, Derek Bond, Cyril Luckham, Willoughby Gray, Marigold Russell, Arthur Young . Screenplay by Hans Jacoby, from a story by Desmond Leslie. Produced by Burt Balaban and Gene Martel. Cinematography by Kenneth Talbot. Music by Eric Spear. Directed by Burt Balaban.

Beautifully-crafted tale of a superior being from Venus who has the power of life and death at his touch. Academy Award-winning actress Patricia Neal's glowing and sensitive performance as a woman caught up in the biggest event in history is complemented by Helmut Dantine's powerful, moving portrayal as the Stranger.

Suggested by events in the sci-fi classic, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, this film is a touching, humanizing and haunting story of "first contact" with a peaceful and advanced intelligence from another planet coming to Earth with an ultimatum and out-of-this-world powers.
