Hume wrote the screenplay for Forbidden Planet (1956) --neither the original story nor the novelization (see)-- and many other US feature films including Tarzan, the Ape Man (1932) and its MGM sequels. The centaur in his first novel Wife of the Centaur (1923, MGM film 1924) is strictly metaphorical, a man half bestial in nature.
