Absolutely loved this movie - saw it when it was released in 1956 - was fascinated with the electronic music - supposedly Disney Studios did the matte paintings for the Krell machine scenes - Earl Holliman may be the only principal actor still alive - except Robbie of course who just needs regular oiling to stay young forever lol
All like Mark said. I remember being told by a dear friend I was ridiculous for I had mentioned that movie as a Must. I didn't care, and still do not. (note to myself: arrange for a that movie watching session with my nephews and nieces above 11, filled with reassuring popcorn when come the Monsters of the Id.)

jsstrand - I hope Robbie ends up in the Smithsonian someday.
Nice vintage sci fi post.
I don't remember seeing this one but «The Day the Earts Stood Still» was my first real sci fi movie.
I'll repost you posts on my DistressCalls blog.
Thanks.
Absolutely quintessential! So many other properties borrowed the look of Forbidden Planet, notably "Lost in Space."
JiEL - "Forbidden Planet" is a classic.
I know but I don't remember viewing it.

BatRedneck - Those kids should enjoy it even without thinking it's very ancient.
If nothing else, it was a great way to ease kids into Shakespeare's "The Tempest." Robbie made a WAY cooler sidekick than Calaban. 8D
And wasn't Anne Francis pretty?
Jimbo - Gee, I don't know The Tempest. But, yes, Anne was very pretty.
