Well, that bests any industry "war story" I was about to offer! The sheer TERROR of seeing GORT paralyzed me as a child. Having the strength to summon up memory cells and sync them with my quivering vocal cords to utter that alien set of instructions (to save all of mankind).... well, no can do! I LOVED TO muster my childish imagination to "place" myself in really scary movies!

Day the Earth Stood Still director was Robert Wise, my mentor. First time I saw him at his office at 315 South Beverly I looked at the pic of him and the robot and said "Gort, Klatuu Barada Nickto". Wise said I was the first to EVER say it right. Everyone forgets to get the robot's attention with "Gort". Kind of like us saying, Alexa".

Still my favorite SyFy movie of all time! It is absolutely timeless! The interior of the ship is still not outdated after all of these years. No visible incandescent lighting. No pneumatic or analog instruments as used in many more recent films. The set designers of this movie were so far ahead of their time. Incredible! Then of course there is Gort. An ominous figure from the future that used an advanced seamless metal technology that could not be understood by the world's top scientist. Despite all of our advances in special effects, this movie remains unchallenged.

The set design speaks volumes by keeping the controls mysteriously "simple" with emphasis on lighting and sound effects, rather than clunky gadgets. I've been watching sci-fi for over 60 years now, and this ship is still one of the best ones out there- truly evocative of a HIGHLY advanced civilization!

You almost got it right. There were 3 foam suits made for the reason's you gave. Were there support pannels inside the foam suits say the breast plate and maybe the back ? Probably, but nothing in the legs or crotch. So far short of being a fiberglass gort body, just a few suport pannels at the most. Poor old Lock Martin, that must have been so hot and heavy to be inside of. But only 1 fiberglass robot. I have pictures of the fiberglass gort being made in the studio prop shop. The fiberglass gort was use for a the mechanical head shoots and some pull back shots, you can always spot it as the arms are out the flying position.

Magnificent! I can’t imagine a more thrilling recreation short of giving it the destructo-ray he uses in the film. It takes a dyed-in-the-plutonium science fiction fan / monster kid to appreciate what you’ve done, and this one’s giving you a standing ovation. You know more about Gort than I’ll ever forget, I’m quite certain, so it’s for anyone else reading this that I’ll mention the name of the man who wore the Gort suits (plural, one seen only from the front and entered from the back, the other seen only from the back); Lock Martin, who went on to appear in two other genuine classics of ‘50s sf, Invaders from Mars and The Incredible Shrinking Man, and may play a yeti in the not quite classic The Snow Creature. I’m keen on recognizing anyone who sweats and bakes in a robot or monster suit, having some brief experience on stage. In closing I’ll ask if your Tobor and Time Machine are also recreations, although I expect to find you’ve given us videos on those beauties, and I can’t fathom Bob Burns letting the Time Machine slip away. Did I mention in any of this how much I enjoyed your video? Thanks for sharing it with us. All the best to you!

I don’t have to tell you how delicate those railings are, but with Bob and the late Richard Valley, editor of Scarlet Street magazine helping me, I ever so carefully managed and had the photo of a lifetime taken. I could never do more than aspire to such remarkable trust. The sort of kindness exemplified by Bob and Cathy Burns really comes from somewhere out of this world!

Oddly, the noted actor JOHNATHAN HARRIS brought far too much of a particular character (he had played before) to Irwin Allen's small-screen endeavor. A British Production company borrowed from the popular radio prequel of the movie, THE THIRD MAN. The CBS radio prequel gave us the principal antagonist HARRY LYME up to his old con tricks around the world, portrayed by the late ORSON WELLES. Now, think of a late 50s version for TV, in which Mr Lyme (portrayed by MICHAEL RENNEE) was NOT KILLED, and has gone kinda sorta legit. Yes, he still has his criminal connections across the globe, but his always nervous, somewhat stilted right-hand man is played by Harris. Compare the similarities in the demeanor of both DR ZACHARY SMITH, and Lyme's accountant/manservant

This is superb. I remember that movie so well when I was a young boy. It's strange to me you mentioned 1951 because that's the year I was born. I subscribed to your channel and hit the bell. Keith Kuhn KK Motion Pictures Also on KZitem

Great segment! I seem to recall seeing somewhere that there was a larger scale head of Gort created for the closeup shots in the film to show his visor raising and the light beam pulsating. Bob Burns owned it?

No. The Movie mechanical head was the head on the Movie fiberglass body. Bob burns has a fan made head in his collection that I have seen in person when I visited Bob in his basement back in the 1990's with Bill Malone.

Well obviously you were in the special effects department, of said movie company, and I especially enjoyed the technical aspect of how you take styrofoam and sand and chip out chunks and sculpt Gort. I am an artist and sculptor and was a musician on RCA records touring with all the legends of country music, about the time you were sculpting. Very interesting how smart people adapt and improvise to overcome any objective. Great work by the way, brilliant, like the brits say. I see the time machine, but I don’t think that’s actual size but I bet u made that too. Well enough gossiping, well done. 😎

The Time machine is actual size and built by me from the studio blue prints and visits with the actual prop.

Saw the Gort model at the 2006 Worldcon in Anaheim. Looked an awful lot like your model!
