Stanley L. 'Stan' Hough (July 23, 1918 – February 23, 1990) was an American movie executive and film and television producer. He worked as an assistant director from 1952-1961 before he became a senior production executive at 20th Century Fox under Richard D. Zanuck. Mort Abrahams, associate producer on the original Planet of the Apes, credited Hough, who controlled the budget on the film, with inspiring it's sequel Beneath the Planet of the Apes during this time: "'Planet' had been doing extremely well and we were talking, patting ourselves on the back, and giving Dick [Zanuck] credit for putting his neck on the line and so forth. Arthur [Jacobs], Stan Hough and I left Dick's office and walked downstairs. As we were walking across the lot, Stan said, 'Why don't you do a sequel?' And I said, 'You've got to be kidding - how?' He said, 'You think about it.' Later, I got a flash of an idea and went into Arthur's office and said, 'Listen, I got this crazy idea about how to do a sequel...'" Hough subsequently decided to become a producer and resigned his post at Fox. He first produced the successful feature film Emperor of the North Pole (1973) starring Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, and Keith Carradine. After hitting top ratings with his 90-minute motion picture for television, Mrs. Sundance (1974), he was assigned producership of the Planet of the Apes TV series in 1974. In this capacity, Hough essentially took over the role of the Arthur P. Jacobs, producer of the five Planet of the Apes movies, who had died in June 1973.
Rowland Barber, a journalist from TV Guide, visited the set of the Apes TV show while they were filming the first-recorded episode ('The Good Seeds'), and spoke with Hough about the nature of the show. "The company is moving right along, on schedule (six days per episode) and budget ($200-300,000 per), and producer Stan Hough is pleased. Hough is a big, sunny, non-artsy movie hand, up from the ranks of 20th Century assistant directors, who still wears the badge of his old calling—a red duckbilled cap. He also squints a lot, which gives him an appropriate into-the-future look. "It’s not only that actors have a ball playing something totally different, in their masks and costumes," Hough said, "but we have so much latitude in what we can say, dressed up in monkey suits. We are enjoying the freedom, the fun, of creating a whole culture and society from the ground up. We can reveal truths and show things we could never otherwise get away with. Make social statements. About the violent side of human nature. About the horrors of the police state. About the blindness of prejudice. Let's face it. What we're doing is playing God." Unfortunately, it’s hard to play God on a six-day-bike-race of a production schedule, and the criterion of Creation’s progress is "How many pages did we shoot today?" As a result, there is a surfeit of Jungle Jim "action" shots, skulkings around corners and dartings from bush to bush to the adrenalin music of tom-toms and muted horns, and a modicum of Truth Revealed."
