It's called ROCKETSHIP XM, written and directed by Kurt Neumann, starring, among others, Lloyd Bridges and Hugh O'Brian, and --- you guessed it right --- Noah Beery, Jr. (Rockford's dad). The story goes that Neumann filmed this in something like two or three days in order to beat DESTINATION MOON to the theaters. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...} !decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA <"Filmography is my pastime">
