Undiscovered Sci-Fi Gem
What if there were a parallel world to Earth’s always hidden from us on the other side of the Sun?

This is the question that astronauts Roy Thinnes and Ian Hendry ask themselves when they discover a parallel world of Earth always hidden on the far side of the sun in this 1969 cult science fiction melodrama, released here in America as JOURNEY TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN. The plot of the film was devised by British writers Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, the creators of such TV shows as “UFO”, “The Thunderbirds” and “Space 1999”. It is exceedingly weird at times, betraying the influence of “The Twilight Zone” and even Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 sci-fi classic 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. The visual effects work of Derek Meddings, who would also later work on SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE, holds up surprisingly well under the last four and a half decades of special effects advancements (including CGI); and while they are not really on the same exalted level of the Kubrick film, they are very superb. If you don’t anticipate a STAR WARS-type of a film and can overcome the occasionally trite dialogue, DOPPELGANGER is a good film; it was good enough for me to rank it a ‘7’ and consider it an undiscovered sci-fi gem.

Not the film it should have been
Fans of Gerry Anderson’s productions will recognise several actors and vehicles from UFO (which was made after Doppelgänger) – as well as sound effects from various Anderson series. Barry Gray’s excellent music (mostly unique to this film) adds to the feeling of familiarity. For these reasons alone, I think any Gerry Anderson fan would find Doppelgänger worth getting.

Judged simply as a film, it has to be said that Doppelgänger is flawed. It is known that there were major problems during production, and I suspect this is why there is a time-consuming plot thread that ends abruptly and appears to have no relevance to the rest of the story. Presumably time/budget constraints prevented the relevance from emerging!

Distractingly, the special effects range from outstandingly good – better than any 1960s film that I know of – to disappointingly bad.

Nevertheless, even with these flaws, Doppelgänger’s main story is well told and keeps the viewer (or, at least, this viewer) engaged throughout. The ending is perhaps not what one might expect from Anderson, yet at the same time it is typical of Anderson, and it is certainly appropriate. To find out what I mean you’ll have to watch it for yourself. 🙂
