Forbidden Planet (1956)

No Nudity

Review

A stone-cold classic of Cold War-era sci-fi filmmaking, Fred M. Wilcox’s interstellar adventure Forbidden Planet (1956) boasts all of the trademarks of vintage fantasy. Leslie Nielsen stars as Commander Adams, the leader of a space crew that’s dispatched to investigate an extraterrestrial colony where something’s gone horribly wrong. Adams arrives to discover that the mysterious Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) and his daughter (Anne Francis) have survived a monster attack, and that Morbius knows more than he’s willing to let on. 1956 is sadly too early for Francis to fully throw herself into such an alluring role, but she does flash a hint of skin at the bashful Nielsen while splashing around in a distant swimming hole.
