From 1969, the late Roger Ebert's not-so-great review of the film version of THE ILLUSTRATED MAN. Unfortunately, Ray did not write the script:

The link below will take you to a somewhat odd item: an LP called SPECIAL OPEN END INTERVIEWS FROM THE ILLUSTRATED MAN. This record was issued to radio stations to promote the 1969 movie version of THE ILLUSTRATED MAN. The four tracks on the album featured the answers (and only the answers) provided by Rod Steiger, Claire Bloom and Robert Drivas, the three stars of the film, and Ray Bradbury, to certain interview questions. The LP also included four inserted scripts of the interview questions to be read by a radio announcer on-air, who would then play the recorded answers of each of the four, giving the illusion that the interview was being conducted right then and there.

The link below will take you to a YouTube posting called "Hidden Gems: 12 Sci-Fi Movies from the 1960s You Might Have Missed". One of the first films discussed is THE ILLUSTRATED MAN, starring Rod Steiger. Hmmm. I know such lists are subjective, but I personally don't think that film can be called a "gem". I would have been far more inclined to include Truffaut's FAHRENHEIT 451 instead:
