OTHER
This part-documentary film (it perversely includes a Greek chorus and humorous fictional interludes) describes the vision and persecution of inventor Robert Golka, a brilliant loner struggling to create a new, clean energy source from atomic fusion.
—Paul Roth
FACTOID #44
Fred Astaire (alas without his top hat and tails) became the first actor honored with an in-person tribute at the Festival October 30, 1966. Astaire so enjoyed his interview with Festival programmer Albert Johnson, the balletic performer danced with his host onstage.
