Here's my 1950s Sci-Fi Query. It's not a film (at least i don't think so), but a short story that has stayed with me ever since. Sometime in the future (maybe as late as 1990). The streets of New York. There is little traffic. Grass is growing in the streets. Stuff happens. More stuff happens. The punchline is that by this time everybody makes enough money by the time they are thirty to retire, go down in the basement, and plug themselves into the TV to live other lives for 50 or a hundred years. Once in awhile, they wake up to change the channel. For a couple of years you are John Wayne. Then for a few years more you are Jimmy Stewart. Then Alan Ladd. (Actually, I was Alan Ladd, but only for two days. That's another story.) Does anyone have a lead? If not, can you recommend a list to direct this query to? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- James Monaco Harbor Electronic Publishing 80 East 11th St New York NY 10003 212 777 5463 sales: 800 269 6422 http://HEPDigital.com ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.ScreenSite.org
