A pair of spaceship pilots take advantage of centuries-old Irma Louise Gordon who just wants to see Earth before she dies.

Parts of Philip K. Dick’s original story are gone, such as the original ending, which must have been corny even in 1953; and part of the ambiguous revised plotline can be interpreted as time travel, although I suspect that adapter/director David Farr had a different meaning in mind. Regardless, I found Farr’s characters moving.
