"Sven Bronson, a South African astronomer, discovers that a pair of runaway
planets, Bronson Alpha and Bronson Beta, will soon enter the solar system."

Sven Bronson?

Anyway, thanks for the heads-up on this. I don't know any friends of Steven,
but I'll look.


Almost completely OT: I'd like to remake this film, simply to have
a scene where the evil industrialist, sitting in his wheelchair, is
shoved off the ramp (qv, Richard Widmark in "Kiss of Death"),
crashing to the ground below, just before the ship takes off,
allowing several adorable puppies to be taken in his stead.

The remake is in the works. Contact Steven Spielberg with your
ideas now!
