Bebe Barron and her husband Louis were pioneers in electronic music who were hired to create sound effects for MGM’s lavish sci-fi adventure Forbidden Planet . While Forbidden Planet proved to be the only feature they would ever score, their music is a bold contribution to this thoughtful and ambitious thriller. Filmed in color and CinemaScope with Oscar-nominated special effects, the film uses elements of Shakespeare’s The Tempest to tell the story of a starship crew and its en- counter with a troubled scientist, his beautiful daughter, and the iconic Robby the Robot.
DIRECTOR: Fred McLeod Wilcox.
CAST: Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen, Warren Stevens.
1956. 98 min. USA. Color. English. 35mm.
