Heinlein was published in the slicks earlier and wrote many more novels than Bradbury, but they're both still very well known by the general public, as are Asimov and Clarke. But we're talking about work from fifty to seventy years old here, so much of it's bound to be dated.All I get from this discussion is the impression of two men with differing memories of an event far in the past. I'm not sure Alland's politics is really at issue here, but I'd be surprised if the extremely conservative Bradbury held that against him.

-- from a full page ad taken out by Ray Bradbury, reprinted in The Bradbury Chronicles.And Bill Alland was an active progressive as well. However, Bradbury does seem to have become a hidebound old frump politicalls since then.

Bradbury appeared in Collier's and the Post in 1950, his earliest slick publications that I can find. Furthermore, DESTINATION MOON was released a full three years before any film with Bradbury's name on it. Heinlein was just as famous as Bradbury then and now, maybe even more so.Okay, Bradbury was a liberal then and he's a conservative now. I was mistaken. But is there any evidence that Bradbury held Alland's politics against him?

Back to IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, though... it's funny that while the film is heralded as one of the 3-D greats from the '50s (although in many ways, it is), as there are some fatal photography flaws in it. I only recently noticed that the opening shot of the spaceship crashing is in reverse stereo (ie. the left and right eye are switched), while the titles are correct!
