I have never seen this 1964 film "Brother from Outer Space", but I HAVE seen the film "The Brother From Another Planet" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087004/ - starring Joe Morton, & directed by John Sayles, which was released two decades later in 1984. Apparently, the other 2 users who wrote comments have also seen Sayles' 1984 flick. Their reviews seem to fit the 1984 film, and I really don't think the same plot would have been used in 1964. For what it's worth, I really liked the newer film, but I won't review it here. If I DO see the '64 '..Outer Space" I'll post a review with the correct film's page.
