Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDr. Harris' futuristic-looking car was actually a production car, unmodified at the time of filming - a Bricklin SV-1. The Bricklin was built in Canada but intended for the U.S. market, featuring high performance and a number of innovative safety features (in fact, the model number stood for "Safety Vehicle 1"). The SV-1 was the only production vehicle in automotive history to have powered gull-wing doors that opened and closed at the touch of a button (on other gull-wing cars, like the DeLorean it's often compared to, the doors must be opened and closed manually). Fewer than 3,000 were produced during its short run from 1974-1976, and it's estimated that fewer than 1,120 remain in existence.
- GoofsWhen Mrs. Harris is trying to get the little girl out of the car for her session, a sound man can be seen through the back window behind her.
- Quotes
Proteus IV: I want to study man: his isometric body and his glass-jaw mind.
Alex Harris: Ambitious program, but at the moment all the terminals are occupied.
Proteus IV: Construct one.
Alex Harris: I'm sorry. Request denied.
Proteus IV: Dr. Harris, when are you going to let me out of this *box*?

Anyway, I think I've expended enough syllables. Fielding is one of the extremely small group of film composers whose work is just as absorbing and memorable with or without the image. So, to all those who are interested follow the IMDb links and search and look and listen
P.S. As a previous poster has noted, the soundtrack recording is available on a cd pairing it with the score from "Soylent Green" by Fred Myrow. It was released by FSM (Film Score Monthly) on their Silver Age Classics label.
