Science Fiction film with a character called Exeter

[Marky B]

I remember many,many,many,many,many moons ago in the Radio Times it advertised a science fiction film (from the fifties) where there was a character called "Exeter" - can anyone recall the film?

Nothing matches that in an IMDb Advanced Search in IMDb Pro looking for a character named Exeter and all the various keywords they have for science fiction like SF, SciFi etc)

But maybe that keyword hasn't been used on the entry for it by anyone. It's worth checking the list that Capt Waggett gave.

Or maybe it isn't listed in the IMDb
(Not everything is)

Can you remember anything else about it? Like anything from the plot

It's This Island Earth. There aren't many characters called Exeter, luckily.

Though the character in the three episodes of "Full Circle" from DOCTOR WHO was in fact named Dexeter.

Did we ever get to meet his brothers, Torquay and Totnes?

Three of the less memorable Wombles...

One of my favourite 'B' movies :) Shame I missed the thread earlier on it would have saved google time.

Have you ever been to Totnes Nick....
I think they all suffer from the "Dartington" effect......

One of my favourite 'B' movies :)

Mine too, though I'm not sure it's a "B" as Universal seems to have allocated a decent budget to it. Memorable for its Mutant (pronounced mutANT).

I put all these @ 50's sci fi into the 'B' movie catagory, its just how they are seen by many, even some fans of sci fi like myself. I love them all :)

Funny, I thought most of them were "X" movies when they first came out.
