  • 原作:The Power

The Power is a 1968 American tech noir thriller film from MGM, produced by George Pal, directed by Byron Haskin, that stars George Hamilton and Suzanne Pleshette. It is based on the 1956 science fiction novel The Power by Frank M. Robinson.

Production

The novel by Frank M. Robinson was published in 1956 (it was his first novel) and had already been filmed for television in 1956.

In June 1964, it was announced that MGM bought the screen rights to the novel for George Pal to produce. John Gay was writing the script.

The source novel's plot was substantially changed in John Gay's screenplay, moving the location to San Marino, California, changing most of the characters' names (although retaining the surnames of Tanner, Nordlund, and department head Professor Van Zandt), and eliminating several subplots and characters, presumably to fit the film's 108-minute run time.

In September 1964, Pal announced his slate of pictures for MGM were The Power, The Disappearance, Arabian Nights and Odd John.

In March 1965, Pal said MGM wanted a star to play the lead in The Power but "that would ruin the basis for the story because no one is supposed to know who 'the power' is." In January 1966 Pal was reportedly discussing the film with Cliff Robertson.
