‘I Aim at the Stars’ is a 1960 biographical film which tells the story of the life of Wernher von Braun. The film covers his life from his early days in Germany, through Peenem�nde, up until his work with the U.S. Army, NASA, and the American space program. [from Wikipedia]

The film stars Curt Jürgens, Victoria Shaw, Herbert Lom, Gia Scala, and James Daly.

The movie was written by Jay Dratler based on a story by George Froeschel, H. W. John, and Udo Wolter. It was directed by J. Lee Thompson.

The film’s original British title was simply Wernher von Braun. In Germany the film was titled Ich greife nach den Sternen (“I reach for the stars”). In Italy the film was released as Alla Conquista dell’ Infinito.

Satirist Mort Sahl and others are often credited with suggesting the subtitle “(But Sometimes I Hit London)”, but in fact the line appears in the film itself, spoken by actor James Daly, who plays the cynical American press officer. [from Wikipedia]
