A movie about Orson Welles' War Of The Worlds. I remember they unscrewed a jar in the toilet.
Day .
I got to stay up and watch at least part of this fun movie about how much Orson Welles scared people with his Mercury Theatre War Of The Worlds radio broadcast. They made the spooky sound of the Martian capsule opening by unscrewing a jar lid in a miked toilet. I guess it made me a fan or at least sympathizer for life.
