Vividly remember walking through Sydney on a Sat. afternoon, on the long way home from the beach at Manly via the ferry to Circular Quay in 1968 and someone suggested we see this movie. Can't remember which cinema it was in George St but the film certainly left a long lasting impression on a mind that was already interested in space.
The special effects , for the time, were mind bowing. The sight of the orbiting space station from the approaching shuttle set to Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz is still one of my all time favourite film scenes.
