Well, as I read it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Worlds_Collide_(1951_film) It is a rogue star, named Bellus, and orbiting around it is a planet named Zyra. Also, a second planet, " In the novel, the object that destroys the Earth is another planet. The change to a star makes the film's title inaccurate, as is the movie poster's wording: "Planets destroy Earth!" And, when our 'Earthlings' get to Zyra, they find it is habitable (so has had previous life processes!).
