<br> Hume wrote the screenplay for <i>Forbidden Planet</i> (1956) --neither the original story nor the novelization (<a href="http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?990240">see</a>)-- and many other US feature films including <i>Tarzan, the Ape Man</i> (1932) and its MGM sequels. The centaur in his first novel <i>Wife of the Centaur</i> (1923, MGM film 1924) is strictly metaphorical, a man half bestial in nature.
