The Wizard of Mars
''The Wizard of Mars'' is a 1965 low budget science fantasy film takeoff of L. Frank Baum's ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' co-written and directed by stage magician David L. Hewitt. The title character is portrayed by John Carradine, who gives a lengthy monologue as a projection near the end of the film. The film centers on four astronauts—Steve (Roger Gentry), "Doc" (Vic McGee), Charlie (Jerry Rannow), and of course, Dorothy (Eve Bernhardt), shown aboard ship wearing Silver Shoes—who dream they are struck by a storm and encounter the ''Horrors of the Red Planet'' (one of the film's video retitlings), and eventually follow a "Golden Road" to the Ancient City where they encounter the title character, who is the collective consciousness of all Martians.
==Production==
David L. Hewitt had previously co-written the screenplay of ''The Time Travelers'' and had turned a 33-minute-long ''Monsters Crash the Pajama Party'' into part of an interactive stage show. Hewitt met a group of vending machine operators who wanted to produce films with Hewitt convincing them that science fiction had potential. Their company American General Pictures' first full-length film ''The Wizard of Mars'' was made using an optical printer for special effects and was filmed for $33,000〔p. 90 Ray, Fred Olen ''The New Poverty Row: Independent Film Makers as Distributors'' 1991 McFarland〕 in Great Basin National Park and Fallon, Nevada. The mask of the title character was made by Don Post and reused in ''Space Probe Taurus''. Jerry Rannow claims the producer of the film still owes him $500.〔Rannow, Jerry ''Surviving Hollywood: Your Ticket to Success'' 2002 Allworth Press, pp. 65–66〕
The film was first acquired for television viewing with the film cut to 78 minutes. Hewitt reacquired the work for a stage show presentation with a variety of special effects used on the audience.〔9.91 Ray〕
