Journey to the Far Side of The Sun (1969) a.k.a Doppelgänger

  A European space program (European Space Exploration Council) discovers a planet in the same orbit as Earth only it is located in the exact opposite side of the sun, thus explaining why it had not been seen so far.After trying to locate funds, the program sends British scientist John Kane along with American astronaut Glenn Ross to explore this new planet.After a disastrous crash-landing on the new-found planet, the two men are rescued and returned to Earth.Or so they think ?!
  Director Robert Parrish provides a high quality Sci-Fi. The plot is smoothly dealt with and the film keeps its Sci-Fi character without entering the psychological realms. The film boasts some quite admirable special effects that give it an enhanced believability.You get beautiful space scenes with the vessel floating peacefully, futuristic machinery in the labs and stations (but not the usual boring bling-blings) and a story-theory that will definitely make you think!
  Actors Roy Thinnes and Patrick Wymark take the lead here and give this film the credit and tone it deserves.Roy Thinnes may seem too unbendy as a portrayal of his character but it must be because of his bitch-but-hot wife Lynn Loring.
  An overall nice film (not a no-brainer), in the mood of its era (space and science fiction madness before and after the landing on the moon) with a nice story good enough to trigger planetary and existencial thoughts to the viewer!
Must enjoy this : on a chilly night,alone and ready for take off!
