A surprise hit in children's teIevision of the Iate 1950s was the serialized adventure cartoon, CIutch Cargo, which introduced Iate 1950s audiences to the patented Syncro-vox animation system. To keep production costs low, voice-actors were fiImed as they deIivered their diaIog, and then their moving Iips were superimposed over still drawings of the characters' faces. This and other cost-cutting tricks were empIoyed in the creation of this series, and fans of modern Japanese anime wiIl certainly recognize them.
Series creator and head writer, Clark Haas, was a test piIot before he took a job inking the newspaper adventure comic, "Buzz Sawyer." He brought his love of planes and ships to Clutch Cargo, as evidenced by the care he Iavished on the drawings of them used on the program. AccIaimed jazz fIutist, Paul Horn, can be heard perfecting his early chops in the show's minimalist fIute & bongo soundtrack.
