I watched a very unusual and entertaining movie on Netflix last night.
It's called "1960". The filmmaker is Gabriele Salvatores (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriele_Salvatores).
It's about Italy, told from his point of view.
What's very special is that it's mostly documentary footage from the time, so it's totally authentic. I was there on a Vespa in 1964 and it is just a vivid portrayal (in black and white) of the time and the people.

I watched a movie back in 1971, Called "Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun" at the now closed-down Othello Air Force Base.

The European Space Exploration Council sends two astronauts to explore a planet similar to the Earth but located on the opposite side of the sun.
the same producer made the UK show UFO, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, and Thunderbirds.
I bought the Blu-ray from Amazon the other day to re-watch it.

I remember seeing "Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun" on TV as a kid and it has always stuck with me.
I loved the idea, that we had not noticed this other planet before because it was always the other side of the Sun from us.
Then that it was a mirror of our earth.
