Invaders from Mars (1953): Half sheet

The director, William Cameron Menzies, was production designer on Gone with the Wind (1939). The legendary producer David O. Selznick would even have invented the term “production designer” to recognize his crucial role.

He also directed Things to Come (1936), based on a novel by H.G. Wells.

It was a popular year for Martians as 1953 also saw one of the first film adaptations of the War of the Worlds

I can't remember who the author was, but his (or her?) version of the transporter was non-destructive of the original and made a copy instead.

The drawback was that you would never know whether you would wake up safely at home or newly displaced to a terraforming crew on some far-away planet, never to come back.

This particular book IIRC featured a rogue planet flying unattached through space, that was also somehow hollow.
