Warning: Spoilers
*Spoiler/plot- Spaceways, 1953. At a top secret British space base, a staff of scientists conduct rocketry experiments. Main lead American scientist is having marital problems with his wife chasing his male scientist comrades of the mission crew.

*Special Stars- Howard Duff, Eva Bartok, Alan Wheatley, Michael Medwin, Ceile Chevreau.

*Theme- Men and women matters can derail the best of missions.

*Trivia/location/goofs- B & W British, stock footage uses older WW2 German U-2 footage. the file footage doesn't match the film's miniature rocket model needed for the plot. Rocket model is typical 50's design still with airplane wings and fins. Many of the sets were used from previous film, '4-sided triangle'.

*Emotion- An un-usual science fiction film. More of a tawdry murder mystery with trivial sci-fi elements.

*Based On- 1950's rocketry facts.
