used but the American insert shots of  Basil Rathbone (qv) and Faith Domergue (qv) were removed and new  insert shots featuring Mamie Van Doren (qv) and other actresses  (as inhabitants of Venus) were inserted. Director  Peter Bogdanovich (qv) did the narration as if he were one of the  cosmonauts telling the story in flashback. Some additional special  effects shots from another Soviet production,  _Nebo zovyot (1960)_ (qv), were also added. For this version, the  famous shot of the Venusian reflected in the pool of water was  removed.
