Sadly, Alvy Moore passed away a few years ago. Most people remember him as absent-minded Hank Kimball. But he was also famous in the sci-fi underground. He produced the weird 1974 cult film "A Boy & His Dog", about a young man (Don Johnson before Miami Vice fame) and his high IQ psychic dog, wandering around post-atomic apocalypse America and fighting various mutants. Alvy Moore also acted in that film. He was highly regarded by sci-fi fans.

Writen, btw, by the inimicable Harlan Ellison.
It's hard to believe that a novel by one of science-fictions's most outspoken leftists, Harlan Ellison, would be so faithfully adapted by one of Hollywood's staunchest conservatives, L.Q. Jones.

Didn't know that. I'll have to look for that movie.
