FORBIDDEN PLANET(1956) MOVIE PAGE


One of the greatest Science Fiction movies
ever made, especially for its age! Starring
Leslie Nielson(in a serious role which he was
known for in his early career), Walter Pidgeon,
Jack Kelley(Maverick[TV]), Richard Anderson(Perry
Mason), Earl Holliman(Police Woman) & Robie
the Robot(which was re-used many times after
this!)! The story: A group of scientists
head to a planet that another ship had gone
to for exploration! When they get there they
find that everyone has died except one of the
original explorers! He is not really happy
to have visitors and wants them to leave post
haste! Oh, and he has a beautiful daughter
that catches the eye of all the new crew! A

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

This is the Roman Empire of Science Fiction
films. All films before lead into it, and all
films since flow out of it. It captures the
romance, the spirit, and the nifty look of
1950's pulp science fiction. This is one
science fiction movie with a theme, not just
eye candy. No matter how high humanity climbs
on the evolutionary scale, no matter how
advanced our technology becomes, we must
never forget the primal instincts of our
darker nature.

This film is a masterpiece. - adaml-2
