When World Collide (1951, 81m,
Paramount) Starring Richard
Derr and Barbara
Rush. George
Pal produced and did the special effects (but didn't
directed -- He'd start doing that a few years later). Two
planets are flinging their way through outer space -- one is
going to hit and destroy Earth, while the other is close
enough to being Earth-like that people build a space ship to
reach it to save themselves from dying on the Earth. The film
ends just as that ship lands on the second planet. Of course,
as this planet continue to fling through space, it'll move
either closer to or further from the sun, killing everyone on
it -- Everyone that is, that survived the meteors showers
which occurred as this planet passes through the debris left
by Earth & the other planet colliding and being destroyed
-- but you're no supposed to think about that....
I'm not sure about the "to his bride" line,
since as far as I can tell, Pal wasn't married to anyone
noteworthy - All I could find about her was that her name was
Zsoka Grandjean. It might possibly be a reference to Bride
of Frankenstein (which any horror movie fan knows is
the best "Frankenstein" film, and inspired
Magenta's hair-do in the final scene) although Pal didn't
have anything to do with that movie. I guess it was the only
thing O'Brien could think of that rhymed with
"Collide".
