Me too for all the reasons you state. I'm especially impressed with the ghostly visible "shield" bubble over the hovercrafts.
Thanks for posting those pictures, Ham-LOVE them!
Since I'm not a believer in "God", I do think the planet has evolved with an organic balance. The events happening now illustrate what devastation imbalance can create on a particulate level.
Today, teeny "snake" cameras are used to probe inside the body as well as larger "drone" cameras to probe disaster/construction sites.
Tiki, you likely mean the '53 version right & not Spielberg's?

I love Jane Russell. Her performance in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is a treasure and is one of the the best female "buddy films" ever! Looking forward to seeing her all this month on TCM.
Next time you watch Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Marilyn couldn't see well & hard to look at Russell's forehead for the lines-(like Brando) to clarify, Brando had his lines taped everywhere, not due to bad eye sight but had trouble recalling his lines Duvall cracks up about having his dialogue taped on his forehead & in apocalypse-(TREMENDOUS) you see Brando looking up a lot But, Marilyn really had bad eyesight

Those 3 noirs \ crime films are my favorite Jane Russell movies. Las Vegas Story is being shown on MOVIES-TV once or twice a week (e.g. on last night and again this Thursday).
I think she looks her best in Las Vegas Story; something about how she is filmed, e.g. close-ups, makes her shine (and I mean her face since her figure always looks nice). The film also has Hoagy Carmichael as the piano man and they do some one nice musical number together).
Her two Hope "paleface" comedies are OK (mostly depending on how much one-likes-Hope), as well as her two "gentlemen" films, when one is in the mood for light full-of-air entertainment.
As for the westerns she was in (well other than the Outlaw which has been well discussed at this forum): I don't recall seeing Montana Belle, were she is the leading titled star. George Brent is the male lead, with Scott Brady as the heavy, and that leaves me suspecting the film just doesn't have enough of a juice factor.
I have seen The Tall Men and that is a big-picture western that does have fine male leads in Clark Gable and Robert Ryan., directed by Raoul Walsh. It has some memorable moments. I don't think I have seen any other of her films or if I did they weren't memorable.
Double Dynamite; Hard to tell what one would get from this film: (well besides what the title promises and where Groucho is looking!).
I got to stay only blocks same motel on vine-777 N. Vine) from RKO side of Paramount Mitchum called his boss H. Hughes The Phantom causehe never saw him

Yes, BUT in the heat of battle, reportedly, the following words spoken would never be truer...
"Myeah, Myeah, and another thing! That guy what brought ya out here and told ya you could act was lyin' to ya, SEE?!"
the two already detested each other Eddie G. a superb actor but was no tough guy & Raft was, same area of Hells Kitchen Cagney worked delivering papers
I know an Italian Girl who has a crush on Raft
Cagney wrote in his autobio that George Raft-(friends with Bugsy siegel0 was the real deal gangster
Good bit though
