Hugh Marlow and Joan Taylor in the 1956 science fiction film Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. While it was in a naive attempt to cash in on the newborn flying saucer cult — a pseudoscience which most professional science fiction writers looked at with derision — it nevertheless had a fairly good script, decent performances, and superb special effects by stop-action animator Ray Harryhausen. Those affects are the main reason the film remains popular to this day. The final scene in which the flying saucers demolish Washington D.C. is a delight.
