The Merian C. Cooper film was one of his and Ray Bradbury's favorite films. Ray H. designed the color for She as his mentor Cooper would have wanted it. Cooper had to shoot the film in black and white when RKO cut his production budget at the last minute. http:www.rayharryhausen.com. Check out Ray’s most recent (2006) film contribution, “She”.

Both of his recent books are treasure troves because he willingly revealed all his secrets and techniques, probably because he knows no one uses them any more and this way his knowledge is preserved for those who appreciate it. In AN ANIMATED LIFE it was amazing to see all of the projects he wanted to do which never got made, including THE WAR OF THE WORLDS before George Pal did it.
