[16:48] We Only Need Have Asked From acclaimed cinematographer turned director Freddie Francis (1917-2007), this Amicus sci-fi film production, based on the 1941 novel 'The Gods Hate Kansas by Joseph Millard (1908-1989), stars Bernard Kay (1928-2014), an English actor with an extensive film, television, and theatre repertoire, Diana King (1918-1986), Frank Forsyth (1905-1984), film and television actress Jennifer Jayne (1931-2006), Irish actor Maurice Good (1932-2013), character actor Michael Gough (1916-2011), American actor Robert Hutton (1920-1994), and Zia Mohyeddin (1931-2023), a British-Pakistani actor, film director and producer. Though the plot is undeniably thin (and occasionally baffling), and the special effects are laughably dated, this is an undeniably entertaining film that cobbles together leftover props and set elements from 'Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (another Amicus production) and the low budget British sci-fi film 'The Projected Man (both from 1966), in the hope of injecting a little scientific credibility to the piece. Sometimes, various flaws are what make a film memorable, and the charm of this film lies in its imperfections. When meteors fall in a curious V-formation and crash in rural Cornwall, England, American astrophysicist Dr. Curtis Temple (Robert Hutton) is eager to investigate. However, on doctor's orders following a recent accident, he must remain tethered to his lab, so sends his assistant (and lover) Lee Mason (Jennifer Jayne) to take his place on the research team. However, when the team arrive at the site, their minds are taken over by some unseen alien force. The manipulated scientists quarantine the area and begin building something ominous within, whilst others in the area are infected with a deadly disease, their blood-spattered, lifeless bodies spirited away by the extra-terrestrials. But things only get weirder when Curtis, who arrives after ignoring his doctor, seems to be the only person immune to both maladies. If he can discover the reason for this immunity, he may yet foil the alien plan to take earthlings back to the moon for their own sinister purposes... Although short, the films tense, swinging, jazz infected score ticks off an impressive number of boxes. From accomplished English composer James Stevens, the music has a distinctly British feel, Soho swing with bombastic themes countered by moments of drawn-out suspense and some lovely, pastoral grandeur. Considering jazz wasn't his main repertoire, Stevens' music stands up alongside big-band contemporaries such as Alan Skidmore, Mike Westbrook, and Tubby Hayes (1935-1973). An avant-garde composer who contributed bold experimental work for the BBC in the 1950's, Stevens was constantly devising new music techniques which are now standard practice. He never confined himself to one particular musical genre and took every opportunity to take part in pop music, jazz, film and television scores, and musicals. A lifelong pacifist, Stevens left a sizeable collection of classical, operatic and experimental works alongside his soundtrack recordings. 'They Came from Beyond Space is an entertaining and rather mesmerizing score which deserves to be enjoyed by collectors and audiophiles alike. Dive into this groovy, long-forgotten gem from a composer whose other notable film scores include 'Cockleshell Heroes (1955), 'The Weapon (1956), 'Sparrows Can't Sing (1963), 'The Fourth Square (1961), and 'The Insomniac (1971).
