Sat Jul 18, 2020: On this day, July 18, 1951, Klaatu and Gort landed on the Ellipse.
The timeline for that movie is way out of whack. For that matter, so is the trip that Klaatu and Patricia Neal took to get to Professor Barnhardt's home. The way they take makes no sense.
Early on, we are told it is a beautiful spring day in Washington. Later on in the movie, Mr. Carpenter checks a laundry receipt. There is a date on that receipt. Someone took that information and came up with Klaatu and Gort's landing day.
Take it with a grain of salt.

Title sequence from The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
I first saw The Day the Earth Stood Still on NBC's Saturday Night at the Movies, in about 1961. The elevator scene still terrifies me.

Barnhardt : Tell me, Hilda, does all this frighten you? Does it make you feel insecure? Hilda : Yes, sir, it certainly does. Barnhardt : That's good, Hilda. I'm glad.
