Info Post
This colorful selection of European lobby cards for Stanley Donen's 1980 sci-fi thriller, Saturn 3, rather nicely illustrate the remarkable production design of the late John Barry - not the famed composer, but the well-respected art director/production designer who had worked on Phase IV, A Clockwork Orange, Star Wars and the first two Superman films before his untimely demise during the development of Saturn 3. In fact, the film was Barry's baby; he co-wrote the story and was set to direct. When he passed away suddenly, producer Donen took over and completed the movie.

Whatever flaws the film has - and it has plenty - it certainly looks terrific, with phenomenal sets and tech (especially the robot Hector).
