Oddly enough, this was rated G when it was released, it did include the words, hell, damn, and goddamn.

At the end of the movie, Charlton Heston was pounding the sand and yelling, "They finally did it.........Damn them" ( or something of that nature). The Statue of Liberty's crown was in the foreground and I did not understand (???).......so I asked my Dad........Why is he so angry ? My Dad responded....."They are still on the Earth" ! Wow ! That's when I got the message ! I was shocked ! They never left earth or somehow returned to earth at a later time ! It was a GREAT movie ! All the sequels were awful......but this one was by far the best one ! I was so shocked to learn they were still on he earth !!!

I was surprised to find out that Rod Serling co-wrote the screenplay...
