and the film was shot at the Shepperton Studio Centre outside London.



Saturn 3 marks the first venture into science-fiction for Grade, the legendary British showman who heads ITC Entertainment, and also for Donen, whose films over the past thirty years have stressed wit and style ("Indiscreet," "Charade," "Funny Face") . It is Donen's second teaming with Starger, who is president of Marble Arch Productions and Associated Film Distribution. The pair's first joint effort was on Grade's recent hit, "Movie Movie."

The space-age love story escalates into horror when the "robot helper" sent from Saturn Survey headquarters is finally assembled. The 8-foot humanoid - the first in the Demi-God series - is a mass of gleaming metal, simulated brain tissue and plastic tubing through which vital juices pulse.

Named Hector and designed to be the most efficient lab-helper ever built, he is programmed by direct drain from the demented brain of his creator, Keitel. . .and is congenitally insane. As he absorbs his master's lust for Farrah's body and Douglas' life, he runs amok through the defenseless space-station.

Then Saturn goes into its 22-day eclipse, cutting Titan's lifeline to the rest of the Universe.. .and they are alone. The four of them.
