《飛天大戰》（英語：Flash Gordon）是一部科幻電視劇，於1954年10月15日至1955年7月15日首播，播出管道包含廣播聯賣和杜蒙特電視網（英语：DuMont Television Network）。該劇改編自金氏特稿社（英语：King Features Syndicate）出版、艾力克斯·雷蒙（英语：Alex Raymond）創作的同名連環漫畫（英语：Flash Gordon）。

劇情綱要

與原著漫畫不同，該劇的背景設定在西元3203年；劇情講述銀河調查局（Galactic Bureau of Investigation，縮寫GBI）幹員飞侠哥顿（英语：Flash Gordon）、黛兒·亞頓（英语：Dale Arden）和查可夫博士（英语：Hans Zarkov）聽從指揮官保羅·理察茲（Paul Richards）的命令，駕駛太空船「飛天號」（Sky Flash）穿梭銀河系，打擊星際壞蛋。

演員

製播

环球影业一度持有漫畫《飛天大戰》的影視改編權，卻放任其失效。後來前環球高管愛德華·格魯斯金（Edward Gruskin）與馬蒂·福克斯（Matty Fox）和漫畫出版商金氏特稿社（英语：King Features Syndicate）達成協議，製作電視劇的前26集。[1]該劇的製作人由格魯斯金和文策爾·呂德克（Wenzel Lüdecke）擔任[2]，編劇組包含格魯斯金、布魯斯·蓋勒與厄爾·馬卡姆（Earl Markham），而導演則有小華勒斯·沃斯利（Wallace Worsley, Jr.）與岡瑟·馮·弗里奇（英语：Gunther von Fritsch）[2]

該劇於1953年5月開拍，以西柏林[3]施潘道的一間廢棄啤酒店作為主要拍攝地點[4]。製作團隊當中只有主演們和導演沃斯利會說英語，給製作帶來了麻煩。沃斯利回憶道：

（劇中）不管我們探索到哪個星系去，每個人說話都帶著德國口音。雇用不會英語的德國演員，下場就是要拍大量的特寫鏡頭。我人會站在攝影機後面，抓好演員的樣子，念出他或她的台詞；然後演員會複誦一遍，模仿我的發音和腔調。[5]

該劇每集分配到15,000美元的預算[1]，且一集要在3天內拍完。拍完前26集後，沃斯利以出現薪資糾紛為由退出劇組。最後的13集改地至法國马赛製作，在馮·弗里奇的執導下進行[4]。該劇屬於西德、法國和美國合拍的電視劇，由Intercontinental Television Films和Telediffusion合力製作[6]。

該劇在美國大部分地區以廣播聯賣形式播出，在東岸則由杜蒙特電視網（英语：DuMont Television Network）播出[7]。

Critical response and themes

Variety noted that the series was from a technical standpoint "up to the demands of the script and the average viewer probably won't notice the differences in quality between this and home-grown produce".[39] Flash Gordon was immediately popular in the United States and continued to run in syndication into the early 1960s.[40]

Modern critical reaction to the series has been light but largely negative. The production values are frequently derided, with the series described as "bargain-basement".[41] The televised series suffered in comparison to the earlier film serials with the television incarnation labeled "vastly inferior," lacking "good concepts and scripts" and "most of all, [lacking] Buster Crabbe, who was Flash Gordon".[42] One positive comment notes Champlin's portrayal of Dale Arden, who was transformed from the typical damsel in distress（英语：damsel in distress） of the serials into a trained scientist and a "quick thinker who often saved [Flash and Zarkov] from perishing".[43]

Film theorist Wheeler Winston Dixon（英语：Wheeler Winston Dixon）, far from decrying the series for its production values, finds that "the copious [use of] stock footage and the numerous exterior sequences shot in the ruins of the bombed-out metropolis give Flash Gordon a distinctly ravaged look".[44] He writes that its international origins give the series "an interesting new cultural dimension, even a perceptible air of a split cultural identity".[4] Dixon quotes German cultural historian Mark Baker（英语：Mark Baker (author)）, who writes of a particular scene from the episode The Brain Machine as emblematic of this cultural split. The scene uses stock footage of a June 17, 1953 demonstration by East Berlin workers against the East German government. Soviet tanks opened fire on both demonstrators and bystanders, thus confirming East Germany's status as a Soviet puppet state in the minds of West Germans. American viewers, Baker speculates, were probably unaware of the iconic power in West Germany of the images of fleeing East Berlinners, which were used to illustrate a panic on Neptune.[45]

Dixon, noting the similarities between the ideals espoused by "space operas" like Flash Gordon, Captain Video（英语：Captain Video and His Video Rangers） and Rocky Jones, Space Ranger（英语：Rocky Jones, Space Ranger） and American Cold War values, argues that such series were designed to instill those values into their young viewers.[46] Flash Gordon, he writes, along with its fellow space operas, "have a common, unifying theme: peace in the universe can be achieved only by dangerous efforts and the unilateral dominance of the Western powers."[40] This echoes the earlier critique of Soviet writer G. Avarin, who in the Soviet film journal Art of the Cinema had accused Gordon and other space-faring characters of being "the vanguard of a new and greater 'American imperialism'".[47] The "ravaged look" of the series, Dixon writes, "underscores the real-world stage on which the action of the space operas played".[1]

Preservation status

Physical copies of two episodes, "Escape into Time" (October 8, 1954) and "The Witch of Neptune" (March 4, 1955), are held in the J. Fred MacDonald（英语：J. Fred MacDonald） collection at the Library of Congress. A total of fourteen episodes are currently available in the public domain, both on various DVD releases[48] and on websites such as the Internet Archive:[49] Episodes 1, 5, 6, 8, 10, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 36, and 39.
