Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Flashbacks: Conversations with 24 Actors, Writers, Producers and Directors from the Golden Age. Tom Weaver.

This is a book of interviews with creators of films in the classic science fiction and fantasy genre. As a fan of most types of films from the silent era to today, I consider myself well-versed in the people behind the scenes. As such, it reads like a collection of magazine articles (which, indeed, it is) and. because the focus is so narrow. it avoids most mention of anything outside of that genre.

As a 12-year-old, Richard Eyer costarred with Robby the Robot. In Robinson Crusoe on Mars, Paul Mantee's costar was a monkey named Barney who received billing as "Mona, the Woolly Monkey." Actress Randy Stuart played the wife of The Incredible Shrinking Man. Alan Caillou wrote the original pilot outline for television's The Six Million Dollar Man. Asked to look over the final script six months later, he noticed that exactly one of his lines was being used (and that out of context) and that 27 writers were being given writing credit! Tom Weaver-author of Attack of the Monster Movie Makers, Science Fiction Stars and Horror Heroes, They Fought in the Creature Features, and Interviews with B Science Fiction and Horror Movie Makers-returns with a new collection of interviews that go behind the scenes of Golden Age science fiction, horror and fantasy filmmaking.

A collection of exccellent interviews by Tom Weaver of Hollywood's B-movie stars with a clear focus on science fiction and horror from the Ed Wood's mind-numbingly bad movies to horror and sci-fi Hollywood classics. Great viewpoints on B-movie-making.

Paul Mantee describes how much he enjoyed trading in an ice cream scoop for the lead in the under-appreciated Robinson crusoe on Mars, the trouble they had with the monkey who was his second lead for the first half of the movie and how Victor Lundin, who was up for the lead but played Friday in the second half, used a Mayan dialect for his alien language.

Richard Eyer, who became in elementary school teacher, talks about becoming the genie in Ray Harryhuasen's The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and his life as a child star.

John Fiedler talks about his role in Tom Corbett, Space Cadet on TV, his turn as morgue attendant Morty the Ghoul in The Night Stalker TV series, and how he didn't like working with William Shatner in the Jack the Ripper-derived episode of Star Trek.

Alex Gordon describes his first startling exposure to Plan 9 from Outer Space director Ed Wood in a blonde wig and a dress. He says Bela Lugosi never knew how Ed Wood was going to use his monologue for the notorious cross-dressing classic Glen or Glenda. It was just a rent check.

John Moxey describes how Barry Atwater in his vampire drag for the original Night Stalker TV movie walked the streets of Las Vegas and through the casinos, and no one batted an eye.

Jackie Joseph tells how when she came to New York to do Little Shop of Horrors, she was told it would be a detective movie.

Character actor Gene Evans, noted for his many westerns, says he initially rejected the lead in a monster movie until he found out The Giant Behemoth would be filmed in England.

Novelist, screenwriter, character actor, and ex-spy Alan Caillou says he wrote William Shatner-starrer Kingdom of the Spiders, but never got paid, although it made plenty. He also describes how his daughter was caught in a Catch 22 situation, needing a SAG card but unable to be in a movie as required without a SAG card and how they sneaked her into Kingdom of the Spiders.

What I like about the book is primarily its focus on the forgotten and little known filmmakers. Weaver is undeniably an expert in his field, but don't expect any deep-probing questions here or analysis for that matter. He's more interested in the where/how/when side of things, which is fine if all you're after is a nostalgic trip down the memory lane.
Still, this should be quite an invaluable resource for more serious scholars of classic sci-fi and fantasy cinema, since many of the interviewees have rarely been interviewed (such as director Lewis Allen for example).
