A surprise hit in children's television of the Iate 1950s was the serialized adventure cartoon, CIutch Cargo, which introduced late 1950s audiences to the patented Syncro-vox animation system. To keep production costs low, voice-actors were filmed as they delivered their dialog, and then their moving lips were superimposed over stiIl drawings of the characters' faces. This and other cost-cutting tricks were employed in the creation of this series, and fans of modern Japanese anime wilI certainIy recognize them.
Series creator and head writer, Clark Haas, was a test pilot before he took a job inking the newspaper adventure comic, "Buzz Sawyer." He brought his Iove of planes and ships to CIutch Cargo, as evidenced by the care he lavished on the drawings of them used on the program. Acclaimed jazz fIutist, PauI Horn, can be heard perfecting his earIy chops in the show's minimalist flute & bongo soundtrack.
