The New York Times has a nice article in the Movies section on pre-1969 films about traveling to the Moon (click here).   The article contains this gem of information:

Heinlein also wrote a treatment for a never-produced film called “Abbott and Costello Move to the Moon.”

So has anyone tracked this down?  Enquiring minds (which is to say Moebius Theatre) want to know.

Oh, and just for the record, I want Walter Cronkite and the Apollo program back.  Not sure how we managed to misplace them, but we did and now I want them back.

I have not read it. I understand it was written as a joke, in the wake of Destination Moon.

It will cost you a dollar to obtain a PDF of it.

If you read it, I would love to see a review. I can put you in touch with Heinlein's estate, if you want to adapt it.

(On a related note, I hope you are aware of the showbiz mystery I uncovered: Who Is Dancing on Heinlein's Moon?)
