Percepto follows up the release of Vic Mizzy's THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN with his out-of-this-world score for THE RELUCTANT ASTRONAUT, released on CD for the first time!

In 1967, comedian Don Knotts scored another big-screen success with this hilarious comedy about a smalltown janitor whose fear of heights leads him to man a space capsule into outer space! The film also featured a first-rate supporting cast, including Leslie Nielson and Arthur O'Connell.

Like THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN, Mizzy delivered a another unique, toe-tapping score to accentuate Knott's frantic antics, including a dizzying 10-minute orchestral workout to accompany Knotts' harrowing climactic flight into space.

This deluxe limited edition includes the complete original score digitally remastered from the composer's own private masters and includes rare source cues.

This package also includes a lavish, full-color booklet documenting the complete history of the film's production, including interviews, dozens of rare, behind-the-scenes photos and Mizzy's own merry memories on the creation of his score.

Prepare for take-off as THE RELUCTANT ASTRONAUT hits your CD player soon!
