50's Classic


The 1956 Forbidden Planet holds up very well. The psychology and ethics is wrapped in suspense, action and romance, with a great cast and sharp sets and special effects (which seem chaste by current CGI standards) and score. And there's all that Shakespearean Tempest resonance for us pinheads. (Plus some Artemisian mythemes).

The sexual regime is charmingly antique.

Leslie Nielsen, prior to his successful career as a clown, was a sexy mofo in that space suit.
