FP props where you'd least expect them

We all know FP props showed up relentlessly in Twilight Zone. But I just found them in the last place I'd ever look. Three Stooges in Orbit. The Krell power gauges and the perimeter fence posts.

Pretty bad movie BTW. Musta paid the writer tree-fitty. Scavenged from an unsold TV pilot.

But think of the fortune he could have made if he'd kept them hidden away for 20 years or so before he offered them at auction.

A great lot of people still find this movie very moving of a number of levels.

No two persons ever watch the same movie.

"So it turns out Kubrick was very wise to order that all the sets, models, and props from 2001: A Space Odyssey be destroyed after filming so that they wouldn't find their way into TV shows and B movies."

What a shame! Something definitely off kilter in his cerebral wiring!

Robby the Robot was used in the TV series Lost in Space and in an episode of Columbo.

Also a Thin Man and at least one Twilight Zone. His dome appears in a Man from UNCLE as the upper section of a rejuvenation machine.
