rico,Interesting about Gort. The costume was quite well done, but must have been vrey restrictive. It gives the impression of some kind of flexible metal and the eyeless visor with the destructor light beam was wonderfully sinister.
Something else that impressed me as a child- and it still looks good today- was the spaceship- especially the motion of the very smooth working ramp. When it reatracted and settled into position, it was photographed so that no seams were visible- it seemed ultra precision stuff to me. The ship's interior was also way above average for 50's production design- mysterious controls and the lighting were excellent.
I wonder if the uncurling tongue ramp on the ships of "Mars Attacks" were an homage to the "TDtESS" ship? The overall styles seem related.
Also, in conjuction with "TDtESS", I should have mentioned "War of the Worlds" in my list too- another movie with much more imaginative design than most of that era. Whe the Martian puts it's tripod hand on the woman's shoulder- that scene is still frightening now.
Cheers,
Bam
