Black & white film about a flying saucer orbiting the earth that abducts 7 or 8 people from all over the world (including an American, an English woman, a German Jewish scientist and a Communist China soldier). The alien aboard the saucer gives each person a small palm sized device. When the clam shell like device is opened and given the latitude and longitude of a location, it will eliminate all people in that location. The alien then sends back each person to earth with this device and waits for humans to kill each other off.
Somehow the movie ends with all wicked people of the earth destroyed and a world wide radio announcement from the German Scientist to the aliens inviting them to live on earth with us.

Ok, I've found my answer by doing some heavy research. But If someone still wants to answer, I'll give out the 10pts to the first one. Here's some hints to help:
The film was released in 1957.
An alien spacecraft arrives and its crew randomly selects five people from different parts of the world. They choose a person from England, the U.S., China, Soviet Union, and Germany. It seems that the alien's home world is doomed and they need a new home world. However their code of ethics will not allow them to conquer the Earth. Instead the five selected individuals are given the means to destroy humans en masse, without harming animals or inflicting other devastation. Humans must decide for themselves whom will live or die. All of the five humans are given a set of three silvery capsules, each of which can slay all human life in a 3,000 mile radius of the specified coordinate. However the capsules must be used within 27 days or they will become inert and so the aliens will die.

FACTS74: Thanks for the VERY informative page considering animals. I've read it and plan to study it further. I love dogs.

It was called The 27th Day. Gene Barry was the actor who starred in both WOTW's and this film.

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this one! However, I wish I could have answered the question you asked a few weeks back regarding animals and the afterlife. I do believe there is a very good possibility that animals will be in heaven. Here's what Scripture has to say about animals, if you're interested:
