I thought it was supposed to be an airplane.

I did notice the tire tracks of a camera's truck.

A still from this was on the front cover of my Latin textbook.

I saw the movie on a big screen - fullsized oldfashioned converted vaudeville stage. I was in the first row.

I first saw the movie when I was 9-year-old at the parish center's matinees. Come to think of it, it's one of the first films I ever saw on a big screen, along with Journey to the Center of the Earth. Both left quite an impression on me.
