Forbidden Planet (1956) Review
Foundation of modern sci-fi cinema. The 10+ rating reflects honest evaluation of a film that holds up nearly seventy years after release despite the inevitable dating that any production from 1956 carries.
Actor: Walter Pidgeon
Walter Pidgeon was nominated twice, for Mrs Miniver and Madame Curie, and played Doctor Morbius in Forbidden Planet, a scientist whose own subconscious is the monster. He served as president of the Screen Actors Guild and had a substantial singing career before film.
