oldhollywood: Stills from The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951, dir. Robert Wise), in which an alien visitor comes to warn a Cold War-era, nuclear-armed Earth to cease warmongering & threatening the peace of the universe, lest an interstellar peacekeeping organization be forced to put down the Earthling menace. “I’m impatient with stupidity. My people have learned to live without it.”
