- Dr. David Conway has been developing a machine that will allow him to predict earthquakes and other seismic activity. By the time it's perfected the machine predicts a major earthquake for the next day. He and his colleague Dr, Ellis Morton try to forewarn the Governor but it's too late to do anything. The subsequent earthquake is devastating. They head deep into the Carlsbad caverns to determine what might be causing the pressure. What they find is an unknown volatile mineral that is safe when wet but expands and eventually explodes when dry. The mineral has been pushed to the surface and their only solution is to flood those areas where the mineral is found.
Super-quake tilts the earth!

Born in 1936 and now aged 87, I grew up watching and loving these corny old "B" movies. I still do. Regards to all fellow fans. England, November, 2023.
Hello to England from California!
@@mariakelly90210 Hello to you Maria. I actually love it when getting unsolicited replies to my comments, especially when coming from sunny California. I hope I've got this right, but I am one of the few Englishmen who knows that Sacramento, not San or Los is the State capital. How's that? Best wishes from an upright, lucid 87 year old. Not as active as Joe. But then he's much younger, 80! Best wishes. November, 2023.
@@mariakelly90210 Maria, I think I replied to you. If not, thanks. Listening to T, Rex singing "Get it on". Try it please, I love it. November, 2023.
My favourite t rex song it's fantastic @@ronaldstrange8981
@ronaldstrange8981 love these old ones too. bang the gong! 4/14/24
I love these old scifi movies.
Thank you for uploading it for us.
Agree
Yes, this one is really a rare treat!
🎼 🎶 _Movie time dance, 🎵 Movie Time Dance, 🎉 Yeah!!!_
Love old movies and TV shows
Better than what they produce today !!
Not hard (I think we are regressing on all fronts.)
You know its a really good movie when you hate to see it end! There was a lot of stock footage from other movies, but it was still very good!
Amen to THAT & I just started it. I love these nostalgic movies!💞
Love the volcano going off right behind him in the window! Classic.
They have volcanos in Southern California?
@@mariakelly90210California is part of the Ring of Fire, with over two dozen volcanoes, though mostly extinct. Lassen in N Cal. was the last to explode in 1921.
Pretty cool how they used real footage of earthquakes, dam breaks and floods.
Kathryn Grant was a seriously beautiful lady. Interesting side note on her is her married name is Kathryn Crosby, Bing Crosby's wife. And as of this moment still alive I believe
This is the first time I've seen her during her pre-Bing days; thanks for mentioning it! 🐈
OMG you are right. She was a major bit**h if I remember correctly. We know bing Crosby was a very dysfunctional father . A real terror.
According to his kids Bing was a womanizer and a beat the He'll out of them. Denise Crosby of Star Ttek Next Generation took name although she was an illegitimate child from one of his affairs and he never recognized her as his. Man sure could sing though...
Yes, Kathryn Grant Crosby is 89 now!
Yes, she is alive
Great movie!And Kathryn Grant....what a natural beauty!
She is a beautiful woman 👩🏼 I’m glad she is still alive I saw her in a lot of movies
Yes, Kathryn Grant is stunning. So amazing how many of these Sci Fi movies from the 50's feature very attractive women.
No Ghetto Butts 😝@@19MarkDavid
Excellent! Timely Then & Timely Now! ...Best Episode Ever Tackling The Environment When No One In Regular Life Had A Clue & Were Never Told Truth By The Government!
Not so long ago I paid twenty-five cents to see a double Matinee, and this was one of the movies showing at our Theater. Long live Baby Boomers, but Old age still sucks. God Bless. God, Family and Country. 1776
Don't forget the cartoon.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I heard it damaged a lot of glassware & crockery when the World Exploded. That stuff is so dang delicate.
I love b/w movies & the topic.
Thank you for showing this. ❤
Thanks for watching!
This movie should have gotten an award for the most stock footage ever used and the cardboard airplane was the highlight! :)
Oh boy, ha ha ha that is hilarious about the cardboard airplane being the highlight. Ha ha ha thanks for that laugh.
I'd love to see that, and what it looks like.
They used the cardboard plane again in Plan Nine from Outer space.
@@notmyfault29
Ha ha ha ha, I am going to have to see that movie again and check out that hilarious cardboard airplane. That is so wild it's hilarious to me. Thanks for mentioning it. I loved hearing about it.❤️😆
When was that? When the rain was being flown through?
They had a helicopter that wasn't cardboard.
Fred F. Sears also directed the schlocky, cheap and fun "The Giant Claw " which also features inept scientists and military men, a sonorous, foreboding voiceover narration, and dime store f/x. Thanks for this !
The giant claw is great lol
The mst3k version is great!
I've been to Carlsbad Caverns and they are really worth visiting.
Are they *really* made of styrene?
Carlsbad Caverns are not made of styrene or any other artificial crap.
😅😅😅@@AndrewGivens
Just be careful which rocks you pick up.
Gotta love the shameless airplane cabin set. Office chairs and folding card tables! The camera is located so far away it is easy to tell there is just the one wall. They must have spent their whole budget on stock disaster footage. Kathryn Grant was so pretty.
When movies didn't have to be 3 hours long to tell a complete story.
They didn't need CGI either and they did a good job, with the effects that had in the day. actors had talent back then. Because of all the fake acting and CGI, I now watch old B&W movies now. there is but good entertainment, after all this is want they are meant to do.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Thank you. ❤️
First time I've ever seen it and although I grew up with 'Monolith Monsters' I would have to say this is better even though I haven't reached the end yet. That female lead is a knockout compared to some.
One of the better disaster end of the 🌎 world movies And a very attractive future Mrs Bing Crosby
Thanks!
I like how he puts the explosive in the little tin globe to show what will happen to the earth! True scientific methods like that are still being used today!
That demonstration cost the American taxpayers $5 million.
he saves the world and gets the lady, smart man
This is what happens in the real world as well so go out and be a hero!
It was in the script😁!!!
whelp, now I don't need to watch it. geez, thanks a lot.
Love these B&W movies!
Kathryn Grant...I'm hooked!
She sure is pretty!
Gotta envy Bing Crosby for snagging that one
@@patrickhenigin4805 Punching weigh above his weight :D
She's rather stunning
My favorite:
Dana Wynter in Invasion of the Body Snatchers
That was a great old movie. The girl was the miniaturized princess in the Seventh Voyage of Sinbad
And...she was married to BING CROSBY!
Gov. Cheyney!!!!! 😊 coffee on the go…..😊
And then all the best B movie effects 🤩🤦🏻♂️
Loved watching these on BBC2 and Channel 4 Back in the 80’s.
Two words. Impressive movie.
Going down a 90-foot rope ladder would be quite a trip
After rhe Inventor told the Governor about the pending Earthquake, he should have packed his bags and left town.
That is a fun movie. Thank you for sharing it.
WOW!
A nineteen-fifties B&W classic!
Never saw this one.
Never heard of THE STREAM
Nothing but surprises!
I was 12 years old when this came out in 1958. I saw it in the theater in Augusta, Georgia. Now I'm 76 and watching it again. Who would've thought that?
@@Dr.Pepper001 Not me!
Just one of the advantages of having accumulated many years, over all this time, Dr. P.
Surely you had drive-ins back there, right? We had them too, there in the desert communities out here. (SBDO)
Ah! The hi-jinks we pulled during them!
Best wishes to you young one (got one on ya) and, for many great flicks to view in the near future.
I've never heard of this movie. Entertaining.
Love these 50’s B Sci Fi’s…..certain charm to them. Also…seems if you weren’t wearing a suit in the 50’s….you were hauled off the streets.
And don't forget the hat!
People dressed better in those days. .
great movie it should be on the TV sci fi channel
Thanks!
An oldie but a goodie😮
B movie more intelligent than crap Hollywood produces today
Not that difficult.
True.
Love the card table and folding chairs on the airliner.
That was in First Class!
@@carlozabbia1157 That explains it! Thanks for pointing that out. What was I thinking. Benches are in tourist class.
I remember when they had piano lounges and served full meals. Lots of headroom too
That was Ed Wood's contribution not credited.
@@jamesmiller4184 That's right and Bela Lugosi was the pilot, uncredited.
Love the B&W sci-fi.
But the cars, the cars!! Oh they were worth a movie all by themselves! Poetry in steel and chrome.
Not Bad. Very Watchable. Thanks.
surprisingly good movie
Loved it
That was awesome!
Thank you!
In the battle of Mankind vs Earth I am on Earth’s side.
Awesome movie. Nothing like the oldies
@The Stream - Movies & More thanks for posting this fun movie. I RoccoMend this movie.
Thank you for your comment!
"If Carlsbad did earthquakes, they'd probably be the best earthquakes in the world"
Well played.
Comment of the month .
What made this unusual from other sci-fi's was that there was no MONSTER or ALIEN in this, just maybe Mother Nature.
Yeah, "Crack in the World" did this even better. "When Worlds Collide" is ultimate dated, but fascinating to see how people and society looked then. I bet they thought WWC looked totally modern when it released.
She was in a lot more but quit when she became bing crosby’s second wife
Kinda like "Monolith Monsters", 'cept they were, extraterrestrial based🤔.
@@rogerrendzak8055 That's a good one.
@@Izumi-sp6fp I love Crack in the World. Dad, best friend, drive in, popcorn, brewed tea. These are my memories.
What took them so long to dig through those Styrofoam rocks 🪨 is beyond me and oh PULL UP THE SWWIIIIINNNGGGG. Had me rolling.
Good movie 🤗😍😍😍
I got a kick out of the scene on the plane at 53:48 where they are sitting in office chairs as what is obviously a folding card table.
Thank you 🤩🤩💖
You’re welcome 😊
Not too cheezy! Pretty good. Thank you.
She was great in the Sinbad movie!
Wonderful movie.
Thanks for watching!
Great film !!
Thanks for watching!
Wish we could go back to those "simpler times" Maybe we will? Lol🌍🙂🍀
Nitrogen Tri-Iodide!!! I uded to make it in my high school chem lab.
I really enjoyed this film. thank you for uploading this. PC. 07. 12. 2022.
You are welcome!
Boy Kathryn grant was really young there she was very beautiful she must be in her 80s or 90
The tens of dollars spent on special effects stole the show.
Yes!
Kathryn Grant was quite beautiful, yet I don't think I have seen her in other movies.
She also starred in the 7th voyage of Sinbad with Kerwin Matthews in 1958 if I am not mistaken.
@@truthonly8311
I think that's correct.
After I had been watching the movie for a few minutes it came to me who she might be and a check with Google confirmed it.
Kathryn Grant was the 2nd Mrs Bing Crosby.
She starred in one of the early Sinbad movies as a princess who was shrunk
Alot on the net about her.
RELATED TO BING CROSBY
The kiss says it all.
00:45:00 Copernicium is a chemical element with symbol Cn and atomic number 112. Classified as a transition metal, Copernicium is a expected to be a solid at room temperature.
👍So cheesey! loved it.
“This is an emergency! Release all of the stock footage!” “You can’t mean…”. “I said ALL of it!”
😄😆😅😂🤣
I saw this when it came out. I was in high school in '58.
It's good to know they were making films using no name actors and bad scripts 50 yrs ago. I thought it was a .more recent phenomenon.
A fun film that reminds me of something I once asked my teacher a LONG time ago when learning about petroleum drilling since I went to school where there was a LOT of drilling going on: "With all the oil being extracted from the Earth, why doesn't the Earth collapse in on all the cavities left behind by all the extraction?" This film kind of expounds on that and maybe the lady was right. Mother Nature's way of paying humans back for taking without giving anything in return?
Mother Earth has created a lot of cavities herself - engineers create cavities that won't collapse on themselves - otherwise they'd never be able to extract anything
not to mention what the ants were excavating. There are a lot of ants on earth they say. Oops.. in earth.
Oil comes mainly from sandstone reservoirs. there is actually no cavity
When you take something out without refilling the cavity with something, you create a hole or cavity. To say that Mother Nature never collapses on herself is ludicrous and to equate an anthill with an extraction of millions, or billions, of gallons of crude oil would be laughed at by anyone who didn't fail fifth grade geography.
@@vernalc2449 - can you point to these huge collapses where there once was oil
fold up tables and chairs on plane ..lol love this movie.
Out of water the element expands and explodes. The same year of this release the film The Monolith Monsters was released. in that film the element expands in water and grows to enormous size.
Let's see if we can get that movie "Monolith Monster !!"
I have never even heard of that
movie before, and that sounds like a movie that I would Love to see for sure !!!! ❤️🥰😍
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 It is a great little "B" movie.
And it can only be stopped by salt water.
@@carlozabbia1157 Yes. Same as The Triffids.
We actually own that little known gem!
From what I can tell the entrance to Carlsbad Caverns hasn't changed a bit in the last 65 years. Forgive me for pointing out that if one were to flood subterranean areas that have a high temperature.....the result would be massive steam explosions. Hence it would seem that in this case if one didn't get you...the other one would.
This is actually a great movie. No need for a spoiler alert as I'm not giving anything away. But here are some interesting points to look for in the movie.
23:47..."Get a load of this. There's not supposed to be anything down here but limestone." "I'm going to put it in my collection."
I think he should put it in his refrigerator. It's clearly a Black Olive...
The Earth has cracked from Carlsbad Cavern all the way to Israel. (Good thing he didn't find a fortune cookie.)
25:26... I told you he should have put it in the refrigerator.
37:14... Proof that Al Gore helped write the script. (A little-known factoid, exactly nine months after the Roswell incident Al Gore was born.)
51:12... "Now we have it under control."
'What did you do?'
"First, we put Donald Trump in jail. Then we disbanded the Republican Party and made Marxism our state religion. We then put Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her 'SQUAT' in charge of everything. Using executive privilege she promise to give every person with a driver's license a Prius and outlawed beef, poultry, pork and possum and mandated tofu to take their place. To close the deal, she commissioned Al Gore to meditate in the full lotus position in his wife's yoga britches and channel Shirley MacLaine that she might pass the word to Mother Earth that the world has return to the Stone Age. But Shirley kept getting a busy signal so the line broke, the monkey got choked and we all went to heaven in a little rowboat clap, clap.
1:01:24... So they ended up having to blow up the dam. There was no stock footage to show that and the film budget didn't allow for any CGI but the water from the dam actually ran uphill into the crater of the volcano rendering Element-112 inert.
The Director's Cut which was purposely hidden in the basement of the Smithsonian next to confiscated Nephilim bones because it would contradict the theory of evolution were it to be made available to the public. In the Director's Cut, Hutch kept a secret sample of element 112 we're over the next 20 years she got rich developing Pop Rocks, Zotz and Alka-Seltzer which are still on the market today. Of course they messed with the original Alka-Seltzer formula and gave it a 🍋 flavor which can make you puke if you're nauseous. I found that chewing on some Aspergum while drinking the Alka-Seltzer helps it to go down without gagging you, so let's have beans for every meal.
@Glitch N Yr Matrix: How could the film budget consider adding CGI when that wasn't invented until about 18 years later? This film has a 1957 copyright date while the first extensive use of CGI was in the original "Star Wars" filmed in the mid-1970s and released in 1977. 🙄
I especially love the “put trump in jail” part. Especially after today’s rants 3/24/23: “ death and destruction “ upon DA Bragg!😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😱
SPH. Seek Professional Help. For Christs sake it's a vintage movie. Not a Qanon post.
the only thing you said that makes sense is to put trump in jail
Cut out your douche politics. It makes you look stupid.
Wow do you think tornadoes 🌪 starts like this you can learn more from old films ❤ the film
Who needs superman when our heroes aren't even affected by the poison gasses that are wiping out everyone else?
When massive earthquakes are happening, be in a deep cavern.....
" last time you came down here you got the WILLIES" Yankie films really are wonderful!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
And at 42:59 the gardner from Father Knows Best, FRANZ! LOL
How did you find such a old movie.. wow
I sure would like to have that really nice Harley Davidson police special that's in this movie 🍿🎥🎥
Kathryn Grant was Bing Crosby's wife. She still alive at 93.
Greta Thunberg had that same computer when she said the human race has 12 years left. 🤣🤣🤣
9:07 In Southern California, this is called Tuesday.
Oscars all around.
The idea that this sweet uoung thing ended up with the ranside abusive bing crosby is horrible
The copyright date in the credits is 1957 (not 1958).
A-a-a-hhh, lovely ending
The earth is going to explode so I bought you some perfume!
Politics over science, money over people. Same ole story.
Brad deserves better than to be strung along like that, he seems like a pretty stand up guy.
But what about Brad? Copernicium is element 112 and exists only in a laboratory, it's most stable isotope has a half-life of only 28 seconds, so they only had to wait 28 seconds and everything would be fine.
This movie was made long before we came up with the other (man-made) elements like that.
Not much tension when it already wxplodes in the opening credits...lol.
Sounds like Earth crust displacement, a precursor of 2012!
That was a good movie. Just the right amount of cheese!
...........and they all lived happily ever after............
5:20 That coffee pot's lid is missing the Knob necessary to make coffee. Without it, the brewing Coffee will spew out all over the stove !
I'm pretty sure they're the scientists...They know what they're doing!
😂😂
I like the part we're he pointed out the the ceiling lamp tilted. It would still be straight up and down. Duh.
I guess it takes possible wirkdwide to disaster to bring two people together!😮😮😮
Kathryn Grant was so pretty
I don’t know what year this was made but when Hutch said that “ it was as though the earth was fighting back” it struck me that if the writers of this film were aware of what we were doing to our planet back then there has to be more to global warming etc than some would like us to believe, those people being some countries, industrial and chemical companies, airlines, shipping and cruise companies and any other way in which we rape the earth of the various elements we desire to make the consumable items we want and “must have”, we can’t carry on the way we are going, it is only a matter of time before “Mother Nature” is either exhausted or “fights back”. Sorry folks, I am not an “eco-warrior” I like technology and nice things as much as most people, but I am also a realist, and I want my children,grandchildren and great-grandchildren to be able to visit the beautiful places that I have seen, enjoy the wildlife and to have a future, a future that doesn’t involve natural disasters or weather conditions that make life a fight for survival every day, I have had a good life and that is what I want for my family, but until the aforementioned groups of powerful people take the needs of what the earth needs to support our continued existence then we are doomed to go the same way as the dodo and yahoo. (Anyone who doesn’t know what the dodo was or yahoo look them up, it might be trivia but also true). Thanks for reading, that’s if anyone has got this far, and if, by some miracle, it opens a single persons eyes then I would be extremely happy and grateful. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴🇺🇦
P.S it seems strange that in quite a lot of disaster movies and in real disasters the world CAN come together to address the problem, is it not possible that we could do the same to address the issues we are facing NOW, or are we to arrogant, distrustful and blinkered to put aside these things and work TOGETHER to the benefit of ALL MANKIND.

Quite good.......though not quite as terrifying as "The Day the Earth Sneezed" (1959).
