    Introduction
    This is one  of those films where elements may seem hackneyed until you realize that they were sparkling new when the film came out. Heinlein himself made the same point about writing conventions originated by "Doc" Smith. To stretch a point, the eighteenth century composers weren't writing "classical" music, they were inventing it.

    True, some of the acting conventions of the era may appear a tad stilted, but they were what the audience expected. Acting/speaking/vocabulary standards of today are going to look just as odd (perhaps more so) in a few years. This is an archetype in many ways. Heinlein started with "Rocket Ship Galileo" but increased the target age by incorporating plot elements from "The Man Who Sold The Moon" and succeeded brilliantly.
