Talk:The Jet Propelled Couch (Playhouse 90)

Origin of story
I'm surprised to see no mention or discussion of the fact (?) that the story on which this film is based is supposedly a true (though necessarily slightly disguised) account of a genuine psychiatric case. Although never definitively revealed, the original patient "Kirk Allen" is widely believed to be a science fiction author, with the prime candidate being "Cordwainer Smith" (nom de plume of prominent Government-employed political analyst and Interrogation expert Dr Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger), although there are also resemblances to L. Ron Hubbard (who sometimes claimed to be an atomic physicist, amongst other things). {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.221.80.5 (talk) 02:36, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
