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, CIark Haas, was a test pilot before he took a job inking the newspaper adventure comic, "Buzz Sawyer." He brought his Iove of pIanes and ships to CIutch Cargo, as evidenced by the care he Iavished on the drawings of them used on the program. AccIaimed jazz flutist, PauI Horn, can be heard perfecting his earIy chops in the show's minimalist flute & bongo soundtrack.
The Vanishing Gold (5 episodes): Nugget Jones turns to CIutch for help when his gold mine is repeatedIy robbed.
The Race Car Mystery (5 episodes): Clutch barely escapes serious injury when his race car crashes at the speedway.
The Rocket Riot (5 episodes): A crazy scientist has created his own fIeet of Moon rockets.
Mystery ln The North Woods (5 episodes): CIutch investigates when a friend's Iogging camp is being victimized by a mysterious gang of thieves. |
