“Space Flight: A Fantastic Story.”  As ’50s kids we assumed that Soviet claims of ‘firsts’ in space science were a pack of lies. But this once- incredibly obscure 1936 silent feature dramatizes the space travel theories of a visionary Russian scientist who first published in the 1880s. The year is 1946 when the space ship ‘Joseph Stalin’ blasts off for the moon. Terrific stop-motion special effects depict a giant spacecraft hangar and Cosmonauts leaping across the craggy surface of the moon. The remastered disc also contains a decent encoding of the Soviet Sci-fi talkie Gibel Sensatsii — about Capitalists, Communists, and an army of nine-foot robots. On Region-Free Blu-ray from Ostalgia.
