Thanks for the tip brother.T2-Trainspotting,
a nice development of the characters and a lifetime since we saw them.
Still has the wry sense of humour and pathos.
Enjoyed immensely.

Robert Wise also directed Star Trek - TMP, and Sound of Music among many others. He started as a film editor working for Orson Welles. Wise is known for NOT leaving a footprint on his movies unlike most other directors like Speilberg, Ridley Scott, The Cohen Brothers, or Quentin Tarantino. Day the Earth Stood Still was unique as Wise approached the movie as a drama, not a sci-fi movie. The news reporters etc were actual reporters of the day in DC. The TV and radio station WMAL that was shown still exists! The score was from Bernard Herrman. Herrmann chose unusual instrumentation for the film including violin, cello, and bass (all three electric), two theremin electronic instruments (played by Samuel Hoffman and Paul Shure), two Hammond organs, a large studio electric organ, three vibraphones, two glockenspiels, two pianos, two harps, three trumpets, three trombones, and four tubas. No woodwind section. Gort was played by Lock Martin who stood 7'6". The costume (there were 2-zipper up back, zipper up front) was 8'6". Lock saw out of the costume using a kind of periscope to see out of holes in Gorts chin. Mostly shot in Hollywood, the saucer was done in DC. The military equipment shown, however, came from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment then stationed at Ft. Meade, MD., which supplied the vehicles, equipment and soldiers for the segments depicting Army operations.[16] One of the tanks in the film bears the "Brave Rifles" insignia of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment. This is probably my favorite movie all time.
Klaatu barada nikto!
