<< As for Alland's contributions to ICFOS, does he have ANY documentation to back up his claims <<

Not that I've seen; as he said in my interview, when he told the head of the studio the idea, he got the go-ahead without having to write a treatment. But Bradbury says in every IT CAME interview that he met with Alland, and Alland told the story, and Bradbury went to work on it, so I don't see too much reason to doubt the claim both guys are making (that Alland came up with the story).

>> Too bad he couldn't bring any of his great artistic vision to anything he made without Jack Arnold. <<

Many fans like his THIS ISLAND EARTH. It leaves me kinda cold though.
