Day the Earth Stood Still

[Steve Varner]

The best thing Forbidden Planet probably did was influence Gene
Roddenberry in the making of Star Trek (isn't Neilsen soooo Kirk!)
I think a much better movie from this period with electronic sounds is
The Day the Earth Stood still. It stood out clearly as Science Fiction
amoung all the killer alien bug movies of the '50s. The person who did
the music is on the Theremin documentary ("Theremin: An Electronic
Odyssey" -1995  --- silly Brian Wilson for using the F*** word on the
documentary!)

BTW, I also have Clara Rockmore's CD The Art of the Theremin. Really
fantastic. I don't think anyone will ever be as good on an electronic
instrument as Rockmore.
