".....hearing Goldsmith's Triumphant music in 70 MM Six Track Dolby was phenomenal! "
-Zooba
In another thread I mentioned this as a 70mm release and was scolded that , in fact, they didn't have time to make prints in anything other than 35mm Dolby!!

"Jammies" -- ironic, that, considering how costumer Robert Fletcher recalled, "The old uniforms reminded (Robert Wise) too much of pajamas." You'll find that on pg. 67 of RETURN TO TOMORROW, available at Amazon.com and wherever better books are sold, along with Fletcher's discussion of some of the reasoning behind the uniforms' "subdued" hues...

A book I would love to buy just as soon as it's available as an ebook.

Mildly off-topic, but perhaps relevant to the discussion:
I had been a Star Trek fan as a kid, and had some of the model kits. I also watched the show religiously in re-runs.
By the time the film came out, I was in high school, and even though I'd moved on to girls and punk/new wave, Star Trek was very much on my radar. For what it's worth, I remember hearing that the film was coming out, but there didn't seem to be a lot of hype or excitement. When the film was released, I didn't even bother going to see it, and it felt like it just kind of fizzled.
The following summer, I watched it on cable at a friend's house, and I think I had trouble staying awake through the whole thing.
I don't think I've ever watched it since, although I must have stumbled across it channel surfing over the years.
I've never cared for Goldsmith's theme. Is the rest of the album any good? I come across it for short dough all the time.

There are a couple of advertising tools for movies that spell desperation on the part of the studio or releasing entity.
Top of the list is a row headshots at the bottom of the one-sheet posters. This means you may get little else out of this movie other then star-watching.
Witness every Irwin Allen movie and slow-moving biblical epics.
2nd is audience interviews or, more recently, infra-red footage of a reactive audience. This means that despite the dreadful reviews and bad word-of-mouth from your friends there is someone out there who like this movie and you will too.
This is usually reserved for grade-c horror movies, but it will be very occasionally trotted out to bolster something like a ST-TMP. (problem here is that fan- and non fan- audiences of ST-TMP will probably look the same in infra-red...).
I don't remember an enormous ad push at the time (I was 12), but I do remember what were the first Happy Meals.
I did acquire a TMP Phaser water pistol some 7 or 8 yrs later.
And say What you will, somehow Disney managed to convince my teacher to take us Gifted 8th graders to see The Black Hole as a school field trip

) music for the space cloud, and a delicate theme for one of the female aliens. If you're inclined towards the Goldsmith library I'd recommend giving it a try for yourself - you might love it.
