Thanks for this. I saw the film a couple of years ago and very much enjoyed it - but all the details, even down to the covers of the magazines where the source material was originally serialised, that you provided made me want to see it again. Excellent, precise and interesting review.
When you do watch it again, let me know your reaction. I always find repeat viewings most interesting... you often see things you missed before. I also think knowing some of the background behind the film makes subsequent viewings more interesting.
I first saw this wonderful movie in the summer of 1955 when I was 8 years old. I love it! I never get tired of watching it!
In the 1980s, I was on the team of Robert Skotak researching this movie for him, and interviewed both Jeff Morrow and Rex Reason in the early 1980s, and film composer Herman Stein and became lifelong friends with all three of them. I also interviewed several of the original production crew including Roswell A. Hoffman and William Alland.
Some of the information you have is inaccurate and should be corrected.
Thanks for sharing all that. I don't have the same depth of knowledge as you. The best way to correct the record is here in the comments section. Please correct any errors you are aware of
@@ClassicFilms1 Thank you sir. I am not in the game of one-upmanship. just want to set the record straight since I know so much about the making of TIE.
I will have to watch your video again and take notes, then add my comments. Thanks for the video!
@@TheDejael I value your input, I read a lot about film both online and in printed form and frequently come across conflicting info and its hard to filter fact from fiction, I'm looking forward to reading your corrections
One of my favorites. However, it always amazes me how when they show a spaceship flying through space, it's accompanied with the sound of the ship. In reality, sound does not travel in a vacuum, so there would be no sound. Lol
Yes you must remember these movies are made as entertainment, so we really need to hear the woosh of the Starship Enterprise in the opening titles of STAR TREK.
