And IMNSHO the original version of "War of The Worlds" he appeared in was far superior to the Tom Cruise version. The original told a story while the Cruise version had Tom and special effects.lswot wrote:Always loved his TV series. Good actor.

Re: RIP Gene Barry
Oh, I hear you on that one. Gene Barry's War of the Worlds was by far the better movie!!! And I didn't see the Cruise thing....because I knew it would be like you said....Cruise and special effects!
When I hear War of the Worlds.....it's the Gene Barry movie that I first think about. That was a classic.

I have to agree, the original had a much better story, and...the new one had no real story, but both were still great movies to watch.

Re: RIP Gene Barry
Well, Truck, if you've seen the original then you 'remember' Gene Barry. He was the scientist that had been fishing when he and his friends saw the 'comet' and then he went to the small town near by, met up with the army.....etc, etc.......and ran off with the Preacher's Niece after he and most of the army were devastated by the space ships that came out of the 'comet'.
