BAMBOO SAUCER Starring Dan Duryea. Directed by Frank Telford.

When the U-Foe craze first hit in the 1950's, this colorful flying saucer epic was released to capitalize upon the sensational headlines and books.

The plot of BAMBOO SAUCER has an alien spaceship crashlanding on Earth. The twist? It lands not in America, but behind the Communist walls of Red China! Can the Americans covertly land an elite fighting force behind enemy lines and rescue the UFO before the Chinese discovery it?

With great special effects by John Fulton, who also co-wrote the script, this Cold War thriller plays a lot like ICE STATION ZEBRA but with alien saucers substituted for nuclear submarines. With color photography and military action, BAMBOO SAUCER is a rarity of "lost" SF cinema from the Eisenhower era.
