[net.sf-lovers] Movie/book combinations

I'm not sure of this, but I think that there has been at least one
other SF movie made, if not at the same time that the book
was being written, then at least in concert with the author
of the book: the movie Destination Moon, based on a book by
Heinlein (rocketship Galileo?), and filmed with Heinlein's
active cooperation. Does anybody out there know more about
this? 
   I find myself unable to include "Dune" in this class
of multi-media presentations, perhaps because Herbert's
sequels have demonstrated to my satisfaction that he is
no longer a writer of science-fiction...

Please pardon if this is a deadly-old topic, but along the lines of Heinlein
and Herbert contributing to movies based on novels, Philip K. Dick was
consulted on "Bladerunner" (_Do_Androids_Dream_of_Electric_Sheep_).
