MOON PILOT-1962 -Seems like Walt Disney wanted to make a more adult stupid comedy and this disaster is the result. After volunteering (by getting stuck in the ass by a fork wielding monkey) to be the first man in the moon, army-astronaut (Tom Tryon, who wisely gave up acting to become a best selling author) wants to see his mom before he gets shot into space by his blustering, loud mouth superior (Brian Keith). He meets up with a telepathic alien (Dany Salvin) and falls in love. Edmund O’Brien plays a government agent assigned to protect Tryon. It’s all screwed up nonsense featuring Kent Smith, Tommy Kirk, Bert Remsen and in uncredited roles, Nancy Kulp, Bob Hastings and William Hudson. Director James Neilson made other features (including SCARECROW) but worked mainly in TV.
