Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

Santa Claus Conquers The Martians is a 1964 science fiction film.

Directed by: Nicholas Webster, Produced by: Paul L. Jacobson, Joseph E. Levine, Arnold Leeds. Written by: Paul L. Jacobson, Glenville Mareth. Starring: John Call, Leonard Hicks, Vincent Beck, Bill McCutcheon, Victor Stiles, Donna Conforti, Chris Month, Pia Zadora, Leila Martin, Charles Renn.

Music by: Milton DeLugg, Cinematography: David L. Quaid, Editing by: William Henry. Distributed by: Embassy Pictures Corporation. Release date(s): November 14, 1964. Running time: 81 min. Country: USA. Language: English. Budget: $200,000 (estimated).

The people of Mars are worried that their children are watching too much Earth television from station KID-TV including an interview with Santa Claus in his workshop at the North Pole.

Consulting 800-year old Martian sage Chochem (Yiddish for "genius"), they are advised that the children of Mars are growing distracted due to the society's overly rigid structure. From infancy their education is fed into their brains through machines and they are not allowed individuality or freedom of thought.

Chochem notes that he had seen this coming for centuries, and says the only way to help the children is to allow them their freedom and be allowed to have fun. To do this, they need a Santa Claus figure, like on Earth. The Martian leaders decide to abduct Santa Claus from Earth and bring him to Mars. As the Martians can't distinguish between all the fakes Santas, they kidnapped two children to find the real one.

Dry (Christmas) Tree vs. High Moisture Tree Fire

The U.S. Fire Administration partnered with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Building and Fire Research Laboratory to illustrate on video the dramatic affects of fire when it ignites a maintained (wet) cut Christmas tree and a dry tree.

Maintained (Wet) Tree: Ignition occurs at 0 seconds; fire at ignition point on tree continues to burn but does not spread at 30 seconds; fire at ignition point on tree continues to burn but does not spread at 1 minute; fire at ignition point on tree did not spread, flames self-extinguish, and tree (trunk, branches, and needles) is fully intact at 1 minute and 30 seconds (end of video).

Dry Tree: Ignition occurs at 0 seconds; other tree branches become involved at 5 seconds; most of the tree is burning at 15 seconds; tree is fully engulfed in flames at 30 seconds; only the tree trunk and portions of some of the larger branches are intact after all the needles have burned away at 1 minute and 30 seconds (end of video).

The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was one of the most destructive fl oods in the history of the United States. In the summer and fall of 1926, violent storms dumped ten times the yearly average rainfall into tributaries throughout the Mississippi River watershed. On April 16 a 1,200-foot length of levee collapsed near Greenville, Mississippi, breaking with a force double that of Niagara Falls. It fl ooded an area 50 miles wide and more than 100 miles long, killing 246 people in seven states and causing over $400 million in damage.

In response to the devastating fl ood of 1927, Congress passed the 1928 Flood Control Act authorizing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to design and construct projects for the control of fl oods on the Mississippi River and its tributaries.

Short silent film produced by the Signal Corps of the Mississippi flood of 1927.

Reel 1, flood waters rage through Illinois, carrying houses and debris. Kleinwood, La., is under water. Marooned families, their salvaged possessions, and livestock cling to levees. Sec. of Commerce Hoover meets Red Cross heads. Army troops load equipment on freight cars. Levees are reinforced at Baton Rouge. Coast Guard cutters and miscellaneous craft evacuate people and animals in La. Reel 2, Hoover and Sec. of War Davis inspect flooded areas at Vicksburg and along the River to Natchez. Refugees are inoculated, fed, and given shelter at an Army camp in Louisiana.

The material comes from a 3/4" U-matic video viewing copy made available at the National Archives facility in College Park, MD. The condition of the source material is relatively good for its age. Unfortunately, the transfer to video was badly done with lots of flicker and crooked perspective. Additionally, there are many video artifacts as a result of the age and wear of the video tape. High quality preservation 35mm film exists.
