Review of Forbidden Planet (1956) by Gerald Y — 15 Mar 2008
As far as '50s sci-fi goes, this is one of the best. Loosely based on "The Tempest". One of the earlier widescreen sci-fi films. As far as I know, the first film to have a completely electronic musical score.
All this AND a young Leslie Nielson playing the dramatic lead!
