Yes, I viewed that religiously as a kid. The Peter Thomas soundtrack intro is burned into my mind, here again, WITH subtitles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AvjMHs7U7I Very exciting, but also very dorky, it was obviously a Starship Enterprise rip-off. It is still beyond me how they thought they could get away with building a common household hot iron into the set without anybody noticing :D :
The music, the design, and the costumes were really cool, but the coolest/dorkiest were definitely the dance scenes. I just know you want to see MORE futurist dancing!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znN0KJUd_0M&feature=related Grown men and women making fools of themselves with supposed futurist dance fads :lol: 30 years later, it was a house that looked like the Orion spaceship that was the connection that got the Book of Tiki published:
My friend Pete Moruzzi knew the architects who were renovating the Chemosphere house for Benedikt Taschen, and they gave him my proposal. The rest is (Tiki) history. :) German Sci-fi has some other gems, like this late 50s musical, with even worse dancing, but GREAT sets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MNznaalZTI&feature=youtu.be Watch it all, to see where she escapes to! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYT4qTkWWJA ...that apparently carried on well into the 70s: |
