Robert E. Gilbert published science-fiction short stories in the 1950s magazines, including the wry ‘The Cheapest Movie Ever Made’. The biographical record is thin and easily confused with others of the same name; what survives is chiefly the fiction itself, another of the era’s many brief-lived magazine writers.
