STORY:
In this episode we visit the grave of the actor who played the robot GORT in the classic 1951 movie called, "The Day the Earth Stood Still", which is an American science fiction classic. This film was from 20th Century Fox, produced by Julian Blaustein and directed by Robert Wise.
The screenplay was written by Edmund H. North, based on the 1940 science fiction short story "Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates, and the film score was composed by Bernard Herrmann.
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie is now considered one of the best films released in 1951, and is in Arthur C. Clarke's list of the 12 best science fiction films of all time.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

I'm so old I remember going to see that movie😂 Us kids loved the science fiction movies. Anyone remember Captain Video? Have a wonderful Easter everybody.🌹
I remember that also🤣
Remember seeing that movie and also remembered Captain Video. Loved watching movies and serials that had outerspace and aliens 👽 in them still do
I remember Captain Video, it was shown on Saturday mornings at the cinema. I loooove science fiction 👽🛸😀
Hope you had a great Easter too. I remember watching such movies when I was a kid back in the 70’s.
Fantastic episode. I have watched "The Day the Earth Stood Still," since I was 5 years old in 1960. I remember during a commercial, going to the bathroom and checking behind the door to make sure Gort wasn't hiding there to get me. Scared me half to death! Loved that movie ever since. Thanks for putting this together and sharing with all of us. The effects are fantastic. Take care.
Saw this amazing movie in 1971 at age 9. I was already painfully aware of the state of the planet; my mother gave me "Silent Spring" to read, and my father had me watch a series that recorded "The Nuremburg Trials" with him every Tuesday night. I often questioned why I had been born into a world filled with my sleeping, apathetic species..
I was always interested in time travel, Newtonian physics and space exploration. So when I watched this movie, I thought "I'm not alone! Others here are thinking about the repurcussions of our group choices on this planet!"
At age 60, I still remain optimistic. Perhaps humans truly only learn & change by getting backed into a corner. Then we do what needs to be done to correct our path.
I sure hope so. I became a mom to a son who sees the possibilities as well. And we all want a better world for our children.🙏🏼
thanks for the great comment...i'm with you sister LOVE and LIGHT !
Thank you so much Ron for your many kindnesses to those who’ve passed on. We need to remember these individuals
Fabulous show!! One of my favorite movies! My husband and I met Patricia Neal when she came to our small town of Demopolis, Alabama, many years ago!! Such a gracious lady! She took the time to talk individually with all the members of the audience! She had done a reading and it was just lovely!!
she seemed cool. I guess she laughed and giggled thru the whole shooting, even Remmie was telling her: " are you going to laugh the whole time?"
she thought the script was so funny.
I have all the old sci fi/horror movies in my collection so will be rewatching this one again real soon. Patricia Neal was also in a British semi-remake of this called "Stranger from Venus".
@@myrescuecats3028 Another fun sci Fi film. That goes on the rewatch list too.😁
Hi Ron I miss the live been outside painting, on my house all weekend and not done , I have to do what I need to do on nice sunny days . I was so tired went to bed . I love Syfy , I did see this movie when I was a little child , but I loved Star Trek , Captain Kirk , I still watch , all of the Star Trek . Beautiful Cemetery, love your introduction to cool. Thank You Ron .
I love those old sci-fi's. My mom, who is no longer with us, was born in 1924. She loved to watch them and I grew up enjoying our time together watching them in the 60's. She was actually scared watching some of them. I have quite a bit of them on DVD's. Thanks for this video. The day the earth stood still is one of my favorites when I want to enjoy memories of my past.
I have this film and have liked it for many years I’m ashamed to say I never knew about Lockard playing got and about himself. Thanks for enlightening me!
Loved this especially in the beginning with the flying saucer and you appearing out of thin air very well done rest in peace Lockard Martin
What flying saucer? 😉
One of the coolest openings yet, bravo Ron! 👏👏👏
@@spiritmatter1553 I was kidding 😀
Nice to find all this out about the actor who played gort , sounded like a really nice fellow. That movie really frightened me as a kid, probably saw it around 1960 like others mention. It was really ahead of it's time. Now I would like to see it again, it's been years ! Thanks, Ron!
Thank you for this one. My father and I would sit around and watch movies just like this. War of the worlds, journey to the center of the earth, the blob, tarantula, goodness I can't think of them all. We recorded over two hundred movies that were old sci/fi and horror movies. I still have them in boxes in the basement. I really loved the time spent with dad doing something that gave him such joy. He had every episode of the original star trek recorded and watched them over and over. Thank you for the great memories of my dad.
Exactly, my dad too. Our Dad’s put this flame in us.
Terrific episode, as usual! I've seen "The Day the Earth Stood Still" on Saturday morning television before Ted Turner bought the rights to them. That's who my mom had blamed for the disappearance of good vintage movie viewing for us non-cable viewers in the 1980's and prior.
Back then, I wouldn't have put it past Turner to 'colorize' the opening & closing minutes to The Wizard Of Oz...
Yes I loved this story in sci-fi movie with lockard martin ... I kinda remember this and very interesting about this man played gort robot...... thanks Ron for sharing this story of this man and his health issues where he couldn't stop growing so sad 😢 thanks for telling all about him Ron.....loved it.....RIP Lockard martin and take care and safe travels 💕.......
How prophetic Klaatu’s speech is before he departs and this still applies to the earth today. 50 years after this movie was made and we as people cannot live in peace.
So true
I like this one a lot. Gentle Giant is a easy way to remember his part in the movie. A+.
GREAT! videography! Cool intro! I am 54 , and the first time that I saw the movie was on a friend's beta max in 1977! His dad was a bank president, so they had money to buy the 1500.00 dollar Betamax machine, with tuner knobs and a giant timer box. Lol. I was 9 yrs old. I bet those of you older folks loved seeing it in the theater in th early 50s. Robert Wise directed the first Star Trek; The Motion Picture. It may have been his last? , or at least the last SciFi. Not sure.
P.S., I had an uncle that looked just like Michael Renee.
0:13 So cool the sound and the craft coming in for a landing. I love how you faded in. I got chill bumps. I didn't expect it. Then it fading out like it has a cloaking device. Really cool ideas!
That tree to the right is so pretty. I wonder what kind it is. The mountains are beautiful.
The stamped concrete sidewalks are so pretty. Makes them so dressy. This is a very nice courtyard and mausolem area. Lots of attention to detail. Statues on crypts and statues in the alcoves. Very beautiful and symmetrical.
5:46 I love this area best. The statue is huge and the arches on each side just add to the beauty.
Yes, very important message. It was at a time when it seemed like people didn't slow down long enough to think how dangerous everything is that they are developing. People were in a race to get more powerful, lethal weapons, outdo other countries, without thinking about what it means for the future of the Earth, of people.
7:00 I cannot picture anyone else in that role. I think they made a good choice.
7:50 All of these statues -- the layers of draping fabric on the statues throughout this entire place is beautiful.
8:03 This is why I always rewatch the live shows....while chatting, I missed hearing what materials it was made of and that it was Frank Lloyd Wright's design. How cool is that?!
11:06 That very tall wall on the left with all the vaults. No one can read who is in them or reach them to put flowers in the little vase holder.
11:21 I never thought of the work and devices needed to get that helmet to work. That really does make me ponder now what all was involved to get that accomplished.
The music was chilling. That quivering sound always runs up my spine.
12:59 Poor guy. I just never thought a big guy like him would be really weak. But it was part of his health condition. So sad.
13:47 So good to know the Director was a responsible and caring man who gave him breaks. You are so right, we never hear of such happening back then. We usually hear the opposite...how tough the bosses were on the folks.
That is clever about the zippers. I was wondering how on Earth he got into and out of it when it looked so solid.
15:12 Looks like she is eating a rose. I never knew deer ate roses.
16:28 Thank you for zooming in and getting the light against it. I couldn't see the sun until then. Beautiful rays.
The ending. Wow. That was cool with the Angel close up and the music. Terrific production and tribute to this amazing person. He suffered a lot no doubt but he really had an iconic role that cemented him into film and TV history.
Much love and respect Mr. Martin 💕. Mr. FOTF………you are such a respectful gentleman, you tell these stories with love and respect. Thank you, you make my heart smile. ❤️
Great opening with the space ship and you appearing our of nowhere. Good job Ron. Got everyone's attention. 😁
Lol Ron. Loved the UFO at the beginning, birds chirping, deer this was great. His story was so interesting to learn about. Loved this video! ❤️
Always loved the original The Day the Earth Stood Still. Such a powerful message and very well played out. I always thought Gort was soooo creepy, so simple and just stood there.
Reminder set! 🚀🛸
happy Easter 🐣!! ron and to your family!! a great movie, I heard about Robert wise, the director!! thank you ron for remembering!! the actor who played gort!! RIP LOCKARD MARTIN!!! thanks ron for bringing us along!!✌out!
Reminder Set
it's because it's set for Greenwich Mean Time which is 3 hours past the time that it says it is here in the United States do Greenwich Mean Time is not observed all year in the UK because they go and screw with a clocks like we do and spring forward and fall back it's a miracle you can even tell what time it is
Another great episode. Your research into the backstories really makes your video's so interesting and informative! Keep up the great work.
Ron another excellent video. This is a gorgeous cemetery.
I remember being so scared watching this as a small kid. Thank you I enjoyed it.
Great story ron good to get the background on some of the things from past years.He May have been tall but nice to know he found happiness and love personally.May he and his wife rest eternal,👏👏👏🇦🇺
Iconic character and that music still gives me chills.
Joyeuses Fêtes de Paques Monsieur Ron ainsi qu' a votre famille mais aussi a tous le groupe 😊 C est un vrai plaisir de vous suivre Merci
Happy Easter to you and your family as well 🌞🌷
@@alicefotfmod7094 merci
May you and yours have a Blessed 🐇 Easter
@@peggygalati2191 merci
@@alicefotfmod7094 Happy Easter 🐣
This was so cool. Another fantastic story. I thought you would appear beneath the flying saucer, but there you were beside it! Very fun.
That scared me at the end Ron. Made me jump and scared my little dog.
Loved that movie “The Day The Earth Stood Still” so much. We watched it when it came out on TV. My sister and I would go downstairs and curl up on the fold out sofa and watch the tv, all black and white then. Loved the sci-fi Saturday matinee! We would get scared and hid under the blankets. I’d always peek through the open areas of the fabric weave to watch it to be sure it wasn’t coming through the screen to get us, and I also wanted to see what happened next, but I was too scared to come out of the blanket for awhile! Lol! Soon we were back out, but soon I’d dive back under again! More than my sister. And we loved every scary moment of those movies. Loads of good memories. May “GORT” rest in slumbering peace.
I'd never heard of this film before!! Thanks for sharing this ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING story, Ron!!
RIP Lockard Martin!! XXXX
It’s been so long since I’ve seen that movie. I’ll need to try to find a place to watch it again.
I remember bits of the movie.
I really like your videos, and your work with intermixing the graphics and historical photos are so good.
Have a blessed Easter.
One of my favorite sci-fi movies. Great job. I also love “The Thing From Another World” and “Them!”
Thank you! So interesting. I had no idea that the saucer was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright! The music remains my favorite to this day.
Ron, another great one!! My Brothers made me watch this movie as a kid on "Jeepers Creepers" I was so scared that night, lol!!
Thank you for the back stories, what a wonderful man, so sorry he was born with such a painful deformity... may he rest in peace!! : ) : )
Thank you Ron, such a sad story of an amazing man, RIP Lockard Martin , never forgotten, 💐💐that’s such a beautiful Cemetery. Take care Ron. Xxxx
Great video, thank you. "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is one of my favorite movies.
That was so cool how you had the flying saucer arrive!
I liked this movie. GORT was a scary alien! It also starred Francis Bavier, (Later known as Aunt Bea on the Andy Griffith Show), as one of the boarders, along with Patricia Neal, and her son, who was played by Billy Gray. There were a number of stars who were in the film.
Looking forward to seeing this one!! Reminder is set!!!!
Reminder set!
This is one of my favorites of yours Ron because of all the information that you have provided! This movie was so advanced for that time! I just had no idea until watching this! I’ve always appreciated the way this movie was filmed. Thanks for your tribute to the people involved with it! Robert
This was fabulous! I had no idea how any of this movie was made. I thought it was just cinematic magic to make Gort look so large. That music still get to me too. Great work as always, Happy Easter.
Wow, great video Ron, you did some great special effects , also beautiful cemetery!!!!
Interesting story about J Lockard Martin.
Lock and Ethel rest in peace🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️👍🏻👋🏻
That took me back. Good times and not so good. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for sharing information. about Lockard Martin. The Day The Earth Stood Still was one of my favorite sci fi movies. Gort was so creepy just standing there and then the ray of light shot out from his helmet and zapped some people. I would love to see it again. By the way great opening with you the spaceship, thanks again Ron. All the best from Canada.
thanks Lola, that intro was fun to make!
You inspired me. It's only $3.99 on my cable system. I'm going to watch it right now. I first saw this when I was about 10 in 1960 I think it was.
u r like me, thats what I did after I finished shooting!
I have watched that film more than once. Thank you for the amazing backstory and what a wonderful place to film it. From a UK fan
What a beautiful cemetery, thanks Ron for another great story xx HAPPY EASTER TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY XX
I'm 66 and the day the earth stood still has always been my favourite film
Rip lock Martin ❤❤
That was thoroughly interesting!!! Learnt a lot on one of my most favourite SF films - still sends shivers down my spine when Gort appears and that music...! Greetings from Australia
Thanks for yet another great post Ron, loved the opening with the saucer landing,certainly didn’t expect that!
My all time favourite Sci-Fi movie !!! Thank you Ron, for all the extra information. Fascinating !!!
Sorry I missed this live. I was having WiFi issues. This was really great Ron. I remember this movie well
I’ve been having internet issues, too. Hmmmm aliens?
@@KimberlyLew could be Kimberly
This was a great video!! You obviously put a lot of time and effort into putting this all together. I sure appreciate it, thank you!!
I keep coming back to this one over and over, absolutely love Lock a.k.a. Gort and your tribute to him! I really enjoyed the live chat last Saturday too! I received your FOTF quality tee, mug and qzip sweatshirt, I really love them and am already enjoying my coffee in the mug, gonna wear the tee when I take my boat out fishing soon. Thank you again!!!
One of my favorite syfy movies.
Love it, one of my all time favourite movies. Thanks again Ron, have a great day
Great vid! Thank you for this episode!!
One of my favourite films and I learned so much about it thanks to your great video!
Please keep makin' em!
The spooky tones on the film soundtrack is played on a Theremin, an electronic musical instrument you play without touching it.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing, Ron!
I do not remember Gort, but my husband LOVES any kind of robots or movies of them. I’m sending this to him asap. Ty Ron! 🐣🐰🐥
I enjoy all those special effects you do on your videos!!! Thanks for sharing all the information you found out about the movie and Lockard Martin 🙂🙏🏻
Outstanding presentation as always,Ron.You once again have shared a wonderful story with lots of great background information on your subject.It was a very educational experience, personally.
So sorry I missed it live..so loved the whole thing especially the beginning…this made my day..
Michael Rennie filled in for Raymond Burr in a 1963 episode of 'PERRY MASON' called - 'The Case of the Libelous Locket.' He played a law professor who had to defend one of his students charged with murder. During the trial, a police detective under cross-examination jokingly referenced a "nine foot Martian" which turned-out to be an important clue for the defense.
Great job, Ron! Another enjoyable and informative episode. Not sure if you or anyone else noticed, but at about 8:38 you passed Albert Broccoli who was the producer for a lot of the James Bond films. His heirs now produce the movies. Just an interesting thing I noticed. Thanks for all of your hard work on your channel, you are very much appreciated!
I wondered if anyone else had noticed that.
Ron, wonderful sound effects! As always, I love your narration of all these stories. I remember hearing about that movie, but never watched it. I definitely will now!! Happy Easter, to you and your family Ron! God bless!❤
Awesome. Great in-depth details as you always do! Thanks..
Happy Easter Ron from ballarat in Oz,👋👋👋🇦🇺
I have Marian Syndrome myself. I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that a very wonderful and talented human being, such as Mr Martin, shared this multi symptom genetic condition with someone such as myself. Great video, thank you so very much for it and God Bless You Always, Ron!!🙏
And I’m glad to know the treatment protocols have improved, I guess, so I hope you take care. Stay healthy!!
Great intro to this video Ron. I do remember this movie. It was kinda ahead of its time. It's amazing the work that was done to make this movie.
thanks Edward.
One of my favourite sci fi films seen it that many times
This film gave me nightmares as a kid.Gort's visor rising made me absolutely tremble and hide under a blanket. Loved the message of the movie when I got older to understand it
Great film

I remember. Thanks again!
Very interesting. I remember being so scared watching it on TV as a little kid. RIP Lock.
