Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Project Moon Base (1953)?
a.
"On the Road" author
Jack Kerouac
was disturbed that his friend, author
John Clellon Holmes
, managed to get his "Beat Generation" novel "Go" into print before his own was published ("Go", in which Kerouac is a main character, was published in 1952, while "On the Road" was not published until 1957). Kerouac was worried that Holmes was plagiarizing him, although Holmes was careful to credit Kerouac with creating the term "Beat" for their generation, and much of the material was common amongst them and other writers of their circle, such as
Allen Ginsberg
. Ironically, producer
Albert Zugsmith
outfoxed Kerouac by copyrighting the term "The Beat Generation", which he used as the title of this egregious exploitation film, which was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1959. A year later, M.G.M. released a film of Kerouacs novel "The Subterraneans", made by with top talent: It proved to be a major disappointment as it grossly misrepresented the scene (as well as Kerouacs novel). Ironically, "The Subterraneans" probably is the premier contemporary movie about the Beats, as so few "Beat" movies were made ("On the Road" has never been filmed), the phenomenon occurring during a time of strict screen censorship in the United States. By the time censorship was lifted in 1967, the Beats had been supplanted by the Hippies.
b.

Jack Seaman

Robert A. Heinlein
, and he disowned the result.
c.
To prepare herself to play the heroine with a checkered past, Carroll Baker actually worked a shift in an all-night diner (where she went unnoticed), made change in a penny arcade booth, visited a Tijuana brothel and so forth - publicity stunt "research" that was documented in a lengthy February 27 1965 Saturday Evening Post picture story called "The Lady Was A Tramp".
d.
Kirk Douglas
had an unhappy time for most of the production. After a major falling out with original director
Anthony Mann
he asked Stanley Kubrick to direct. However, he had an equally difficult time working with Kubrick. Douglas has often said he regretted having Mann fired from the picture and when he was offered
The Heroes of Telemark
he agreed to take that role on condition that Anthony Mann be hired as director.
