	Review of The War of the Worlds
		But The War of the Worlds also resists such easy analysis and part of the beauty of this book is its simple attention to detail and the way it evokes the British countryside and city under attack.
		The War of the Worlds in its movie version is the beginning of the end for quality in adaptations of Wells' book.
		This musical, surprisingly enough, provides a decent version of the story; not in the same league as the radio broadcast, but neither is it in the bargain basement with the movie.

	Chapter Three: The Days of Imprisonment. Wells, H.G. 1898. The War of the Worlds
		As I looked, the handling-machine, with a faint and musical clinking, extended, telescopic fashion, a tentacle that had been a moment before a mere blunt projection, until its end was hidden behind the mound of clay.
		In another second it had lifted a bar of white aluminium into sight, untarnished as yet, and shining dazzlingly, and deposited it in a growing stack of bars that stood at the side of the pit.
		Then something—something struggling violently—was lifted high against the sky, a fl, vague enigma against the starlight; and as this fl object came down again, I saw by the green brightness that it was a man. For an instant he was clearly visible.

	Attack of the 50 Foot DVD: H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds (2005)
		When Steven Spielberg's upcoming version of War of the Worlds was announced, the emotions of the fanboy world was split.
		Quite obviously, this version of War does not have anywhere near the budget of the Spielberg/Cruise picture, which could be the kiss of death for a story involving such scope and spectacle...
		To be fair, that may be the mastering of the disc and not the source material, but it is certainly one more blow against a movie already in dire straits.

		We know now that in the early years of the twentieth century this world was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man's, and yet as mortal as his own.
		You are listening to a CBS presentation of Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre on the Air in an original dramatization of "The War of the Worlds" by H. Wells.
		We annihilated the world before your very ears, and utterly destroyed the C. You will be relieved, I hope, to learn that we didn't mean it, and that both institutions are still open for business.

		The recent Hollywood movie War of the Worlds by Steven Spielberg is garnering much attention, but it's nothing like that accorded the 1938 radio version of H.G. Wells' novel.
		Although the extent of the panic that broadcast caused is still debated, along with the claim that it was intended to hoax the public, here are the essential facts.
		For example, one college senior told how he had been on a date and returned to his girlfriend's place to rescue her: "One of the first things I did was to try to phone my girl in Poughkeepsie, but the lines were all busy, so that just confirmed my impression that the thing was true.

		But, accomplished as he is, Williams' music doesn't work as well on CD as it does in the film.
		The script calls for three musical moods: heavy percussion for tense action; brass and woodwinds and occasional voices for dissonant terror; and piano and gentler strings for soft emotion.
		Because the music here serves more to underscore the onscreen tension, it's not clear to me that this disc succeeds well enough on its own without the visuals.
