First Man Into Space, the 1959 Robert Day science fiction (sci-fi) rocket astronaut horror thriller ("It leaps ahead of the headlines!"; "The Picture That Leaps Ahead of the Headlines! Never before! The First picture that takes You into space! MGM presents the Astounding Drama of what happens when a fearless test pilot leaves his sweetheart and friends to dare the unknown!"; "The most dangerous and daring mission of all time!"; "You read about them! Facts like these come to life! Now you see them in action, those who dare the unknown."; "'He's asking for intercontinental priority!'"; "'If he weren't piloting Y-13, he'd risk his life in something else. He had to find his own brand of danger!'"; "'He'll orbit the earth for the rest of his life!'"; "She knew that her greatest rival was his burning ambition to be The First Man Into Space!"; "Just released from top secret! You have never seen anything like this before because the actual scenes have just been released from top secret."; "What do you think? Who can say what strange mysteries await the daring pioneers who venture into hitherto forbidden and uncharted regions of the outer world."; "First motion picture to lift the veil, foresee the future in a spectacular drama of the first man in history to be rocketed into the terrifying unknown of outer space!") starring Marshall Thompson, Marla Landi, Bill Edwards, Bill Nagy, Robert Ayres, and Sheree Winton (as the "nurse at blood bank"). Note that there is a REAL mystery to the German release of this movie! For the "Das Neue" program, they put an image of scantily clad Sheree Winton (who played the nurse at the blood bank) on the front cover and a second image of her on the back cover! This was not true of the other German program from "Film Buhne", and she is not featured on any other advertising we have seen! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
