Forbidden Planet  is a 1956 American science fiction film from MGM, produced by Nicholas Nayfack, directed by Fred M. Wilcox and starring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen, Warren Stevens, Jack Kelly, and Robby the Robot.  The characters and isolated setting have been compared to those in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest.  The special effects were nominated for an Academy Award, as was the groundbreaking use of an entirely electronic musical score by Louis and Bebe Barron.  The film was entered into the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry in 2013, being deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.   (More from Wikipedia)
