“Forbidden Planet” was a classic and a very entertaining classic at that.
I have it on VHS tape, need to see if it is on DVD. That girl was as hot as they come, what was her name, Altaira or something like that?

Alta, or Altaira. Played by Anne Francis. [heavy sigh].

Anne Francis played Altaira. Leslie Nielsen played the captain. The effects were top rate for the time (1956). But the award that year went to The Ten Commandments.

Ah yes. A very young and comely Ann Francis. Her character was childlike with innocence and was breathtakingly alluring, attractive and sensual as a result. Today the female characters are almost vulgar due to their aggressive, masculine attitudes. I don't want my leading lady to be able to beat me up.

You two thespians are aware of the fact that Forbidden Planet is itself loosely based on “The Tempest,” right?
There ARE no original stories.
