A. Still from FORDBIDDEN PLANET of the main landing site of the flying saucer. B. Backdrop created for FORBIDDEN PLANET, 1956. Designed by Mentor Huebner, Arthur Lonergan and Cedric Gibbons. 76-feet x 32-feet. C. Still photo from KISMET. D. Backdrop from KISMET, 1955. Designed by E. Preston Ames and Cedric Gibbons. 100-feet x 23-feet. Now that we have a working digital database for all these backings, future information regarding the names of the Scenic Artists responsible for the creation of these works, as well as any additional film titles that these backings may have been repurposed for, will continue to be uploaded to the site by the ADG Archives' staff. The resulting working catalog of these 207 backings is now being circulated among interested colleges and universities with scenic painting programs, as well as museums and film archives, both national and international, so that we may secure the best possible homes, in perpetuity, for all of these unique and historic Hollywood artworks.
