AMAZING! The truth of another stolen intellectual property in Hollywood, and others continue;

Review of Space Family Robinson: The True Story

REVIEWS Original ideas are the sole possessions of the author who devises them. Ib Melchior's original SPACE FAMILY ROBINSON, in my opinion, has been blatantly used in Irwin Allen's LOST IN SPACE television opera, shamelessly, even using some of Ib Melchior's wordings. I, too, have frequently been the victim of the great idea robbery, thefts that demonstrate the mental poverty of the unauthorized "adaptor." The author's original ideas are his private property. SPACE FAMILY ROBINSON and its clone, Irwin Allen's LOST IN SPACE, are an unabashed example of this unlawful act of literary embezzlement. Curt Siodmak Author of "Donovan's Brain" Creator of "The Wolfman"

Lostin Space was really Space Family Robinson by Ib Melchior

Edward Shifres's book is a painstakingly documented examination of one of the most egregious instances of plagiarism in the history of American entertainment. Line by line, plot point by plot point, Mr. Shifres demonstrates that the television program, LOST IN SPACE, was really SPACE FAMILY ROBINSON, created by Ib Melchior, and that Irwin Allen, who grabbed the credit and millions of dollars, was just another Hollywood hustler who knew how to make the system work for him. This is a true crime story in which the bad guy got away with it - until now. Roderick Thorp Author of "Die hard"
