Heard this story in an NPR podcast and was surprised when Goldsmith's Apes theme started playing. If you listen to the story you can hear the theme start at 2:38 into the story.

I actually first got hooked by Star Wars because of Chewie, as he looked like a really cool Ape.I think I read somewhere that Lucas was influenced by Apes on Chewie.I then got blitzed by the whole Star Wars experience, comics and all.But the light of Apes never went out, and when Star Wars paled (I thought Empire was pants!),Apes still shone as brightly and every little pic or paragraph that appeared was treasured like a gift from the Lawgiver.Now, in these info rich days, it's still nice to look back at a time when a small pic in a movie mag would set me up for a month!

I was 17-18 when it premiered and went to see it at my local mall when theaters were getting split up into home theater size venues and I saw nothing that I liked. To me it was the battle of Good and Evil that fans love. All films are about Good and Evil. It was silly to me and nothing more than what Lucas wanted, a trip back to his saturday morning serials but with better effects.

Yeah, that's what I remember when I saw the commercial for "Star Wars". Chewie looked right out of POTA (thanks to the fast cut). Even the bandolier is in the same position as the gorillas'. Lucas never really copped to POTA being an inspiration for Chewie, just that he was based on his sheepdog Indiana (nothing more or less than a well-trained sheepdog could do). But he did credit POTA as an example of sustaining a sci-fi film franchise and said he wanted Fox to do "Star Wars" because of their experience with POTA. So Lucas learned the lesson from POTA that Fox didn't, because it took a lot of convincing for them to do "Star Wars".
"Star Wars" I was never too wild about, except from the filmmaking aspect (the FX, the Joseph Campbell myth stuff) but I enjoyed them as the big movies of the moment. The closest I got to being a fan was "Empire", which I thought was cool as a sequel and reminded me of POTA (the downbeat ending, that a sci-fi sequel could be a continuation of a previous movie, not just doing the same story over). Whatever enthusiasm I had for "Star Wars" has been killed by Lucas' recent attempts.

Starlog is gone? Cinemafantastique was a great mag for people with brains and like everything else from the late 60s its just gets dumber and dumber until it all disappears and now in this year of 2011 stupidity is the norm and magazines that cater to us kind of fans are virtually extinct. Cinemafantastique was great and slowley faded away just like everything else until its M.I.A.
I see you like star wars but in my view it was a catalyst for the dumbing down of sci-fi. Their were alot of good sci-fi after but it all had to have a star wars bluprint of action, cute heroes, and explosions..uuhhgg... Just my opinion but I was their and remember it all well...Take care, John M.

The history of Star wars is interesting in that the POTA movies made alot of money and with persuasion they made the Lucas films. I remember an article in a sci-fi book and in Time or Newsweek in that if Fox did not make the money it did on Apes , Star Wars never would have been made. So you Star war fans owe alot to Apes/Fox for what POTA did for the genre and film history. On another note a aquatience of mine from college who workrd at Fox was privey to alot of info and in their books around 1979 the Apes made about 197 million worlwide in rentals and he said that their was another set of books for all films that had what he called the "Real Number" and the five Apes films made close to 3/4of a billion in 1979 numbers. Amazing. Just like any business its all a bunch of BS. Who knows if this book or the other is "real" but its something to think about---ShowBUSINESS.. Take care, John M.

You do like to confront,("I have no idea what your talking about")--really? and I like that, but it just seems that you are alittle more argumentitive than even me.

Hello! 

I've been a visitor to your site for a while; as a POTA fan, I enjoy and 
appreciate it very much! 

Just thought you'd be interested to know that on Sunday July 31, my cult 
film co-op, Exhumed Films, is presenting a GO APE marathon, featuring all 
five POTA films shown back to back on the big screen.  This is an official 
screening, as we've got authorization & have paid rental fees through 
Criterion Pictures, who handle repertory screenings of the APES films for 
20th Century Fox. 

The GO APE marathon will take place at the International House's Ibrahim 
Theater in Philadelphia, a state-of-the-art screening room located on the 
University of Pennsylvania campus.  Tickets to the event are $20, and will 
be available from our website in the near future.  Show starts at 11:00 am 
on July 31 and will run until approximately 8pm. 

Anyway, if you get a chance to mention the show on your site, I'd appreciate 
it.  We have a pretty decent following of fans & often sell out our events 
(the theater holds 350 people), but any press is welcomed!  Speaking of 
press, here's a brief article about the show which also includes links to 
our website & facebook page:

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle! :p

I'm an hour and a half from Philly -- now I'm not sure I want to go on a relatively expensive roadtrip all the way to Bethel Woods (5 hours each way and a hotel room; although the Woodstcock museum sounds cool) for just PotA and a discussion, when I can wait a few months to see all 5 films (in 35 mm).

I mean, I all but have to go to the Philly showing. Bethel, I don't know any more. I'd save money *and* April 23rd is the debut of the new season of Doctor Who.

Still, this is a good problem to have.

Thanks for forwarding that Hunter. I, too, am a big fan of your site.

I'd forgotten about the bandolier! There was definitely some subliminal messaging there for an Apes fan.I DO, honestly, recall being a little uncomfortable that Chewie was naked, however!

True. Its a rolling stone that keeps gathering moss and everything out of hollywood can be blamed. Man, that bottom dollar(always their I admit in Hollywood) and how it dictates all the decisions. That and the general dumbing down of people and entertainment. Its a different world and I feel sad that my kids and future generations cant enjoy the inocense, coolness, great and stylish writing and the overall Zeitgist that was the 60s-70s. nJohn M.

All in all, I'd rather be in Philadelphia. Who said that (or something like it)?

I'd seriously consider attending this, but I'd like to know more about the screening room they'll be shown in.

Very good. I did storm off like a child simply because "people who think they know it all are annoying to those of us that do" :) I had a large education in audio and audio is more exciting to me than the visual so I tend to pontificate and get argumentative. From what I remember I would like to hear on any Apes soundtrack the original Mono and the hyped up 5.1if its done well. Chace surround destroyed ant notion that a multitrack can be obtained from mono. I happen to like stereo better it opens up the soundfield and much more can be manipulated with stereo than mono. The mono offered on the apes films is in general awfull and to me a folddown of the fake stereo that was made from the original mono to begin with.
The problem with Planet 68 is that the music, effects and dialouge cannot be seperated, its all on one track(searching will find the original masters and then something like the sequels can be made. Thats why their is no isolated track for POTA68. Anytway take care John M. PS, Im Greek and Jewish so ofcourse ill argue and whine until I get my way, but I know whats fact and what isnt.

Here's the direct link to the article mentioned: http://www.examiner.com/horror-movies-in-philadelphia/attention-philadelphia-exhumed-films-wants-you-to-go-ape

All in all, I'd rather be in Philadelphia.  Who said that (or something like it)?

 

I'd seriously consider attending this, but I'd like to know more about the screening room they'll be shown in.

I seem to remember McDowall reporting him to the police.

Something about his death being the bars he took him to.

From the Examiner.com article (http://www.examiner.com/horror-movies-in-philadelphia/attention-philadelphia-exhumed-films-wants-you-to-go-ape):

"Now the Exhumed crew and Philly POTA fans will have the chance to see these classics the way they were meant to be seen: in glorious 35mm prints screened in a cool theatre filled with a bunch of movie maniacs!"

Hopefully, good quality prints. But all five films on a big screen for $20 ($25 with parking) sounds too good to miss.

Watching the old stuff also helps nurture our 'inner kid', reminding us of when life was good and the biggest worry was whether the ice cream would melt too quick on hot summer's days.A life before bills, tax and back ache.A life when escaping into fantasy worlds was spontaneous and didn't need to be scheduled.In other words, the 1970s!

Chernin Entertainment, the company that will try to put their best foot forward with their first movie "Rise of the Apes", has brought in another film exec. The article calls the movie "POTA". I wonder if that's a generalization or if they've changed the name? I think using the title POTA again would be too confusing. At this point I'm used to "Rise of the Apes" and think it would be a good title, but some fans seem to want "Planet" in there.

Do these people ever watch sequels or are they just into the ever popular myth about sequels. Its ridiclous.. I remember a Poll done when the Apes were at their height and Conquest was voted almost better than "Planet" in a couple of Rags back in '74. Marvel magazine and in a Newsweek article where they said Sam Jaffe was to play the Lawgiver in the next Apes movie and that their was to be a sixth movie where Taylor was to arrive. Fun times and reading, even if slightly off. Take Care, John M.

Tremendously well done and holds against modern films despite its age. Great acting throughout the cast, especially to Charlton Heston and Kim Hunter. A truly great American movie -- 5 stars and a must see if you never have -- only to be followed by the worst sequels of all time.
