Yes, I saw it at a drive-in the first time it was released.

I think a LOT of that has to do with the sound, in theaters, the music, sound effects, even the dialog feels as though it is extending out from the screen, enveloping an audience which really serves to involve the audience in the story being told, hard to get that effect in a home theater

Why waste $$$$ ?

"One of the better?" What other sci-fi film from the '50's even comes close? I'm going out on a limb and say it was NUMBER ONE.

@@UncaAlbyGmail I'd say "The Day The Earth Stood Still" is another good one.

Eah, but Gort did carry Patricia NEAL

Katherine Hepburn had already been acting for 30 years at this point. Point to a fawning vixen role that she played.

Thanks! That was cool….one of my favorites

Last seen in The Big Bang Theory, he has been seen as cameos in many movies, including Gremlins, but to my knowledge the only other movie where he played a main role was The Invisible Kid, but please correct me if I am wrong as I'd love to see more Robby the Robot movies etc.

@@Fantasm2Productions Lost in Space episode "War of the Robots' was a major role. He was trying to replace the Robinson family's robot with superior qualities. He was a villain!

@@Fantasm2Productions I think you mean "The Invisible Boy".

@@billmiller2522 thankyou, yes

@@Fantasm2Productions Robbie also appears -as incredible as it may be - in one episode of "Columbo" starring the late Peter Falk !!! Unfortunately I cannot remember its title and the sequence featuring Robbie with its revolving antennaes doesn't exceed more than a minute...

Star Wars reflects this movie as well. The credits on both are similar. The weapons fire is similar, that is what it looks like. When it looks like that in the original, you can't change it.

What a coincidence! I myself have a strange, tub-like structure...

The same robot was even in an episode of columbo, right?

Robbie was in an episode of Lost in Space. Irwin Allen used a lot of the same costumes and props on his different series Lost in Space, Voyage To The Bottom of The Sea and Land of The Giants.

@@Vickzq Yep, Columbo season 3 episode 6 "Mind Over Mayhem". A great episode.

Also in Gremlins 1

Gee. Robbie the robot had more successful acting gigs than most actors/actresses getting started...

That scared tf out of me as a child!

@@antoniorobles8706 *ME TOO!*

That technique pre-dates Forbidden Planet by at least a couple of decades. It was used in The Invisble Man (1933) and possibly earlier.

I too like both movies as my favorites.

@@MichaelMickelsen I think that the lion thought maybe he was harming her, and wanted to save her.

Thanks Mark. You’re the best!

@@stevekeithley8409 The way they say it in the movie is after the captain vaporizes it Altaira stares in the air and says "But he didn't recognize me, he really would have killed me, why?" The captain turns her around and replies "You really don't know do you?" She says, "No I don't" and the scene cuts away. But I agree with you and like the idea that the tiger may have thought he (the captain) was possibly hurting her in some way. I think the writers mean it to be the tiger has turned back into the wild beast because he is no longer under Altarra's influence because she has fallen in love with the captain.

The difference between a pet dog and a tiger is that the tiger is not domesticated. So long as Altaira had her innocence, she had a purity and a connection with all the animals on Altair. When she fell in love, she began to grow up, and that ruined her innocent, her purity and her connection with the animals on Altair.

Oh Yes, the Time Time Machine another classic!

This is also the first science fiction movie to show earth men using a "flying saucer" as a space craft.

@Dave Weston There's a 2001 ev pod in a junk yard scene of one of the star wars movies. Also there is a prop from 2001 in one of the scenes from A Clockwork Orange.

No he didn't. He kept as much as he could. Hence the touring exhibition.

@@lyntedrockley7295 Kubrick had all sets and models destroyed so they cannot be reused in other shows. Watch The Making of “2010: The Year We Make Contact” posted by Yet Another Channel. One of the model makers says that the model of the Discovery and the plans for it were destroyed. Also, the trivia section for 2010: The Year We Make Contact on IMDB's web site, states they had to use shots from 2001 to reproduce the Discovery for the movie because it was destroyed.

@@TinkeringJohn Well that may be a misrepresentation. Kubrick may have had to have sets destroyed because there was no viable way of keeping them. 2001 was shot at Elstree Studios in London, Borehamwood England. There was not the turnover of shooting feature films there, as there was in Hollywood, (though thats debatable by the time we get to the late 1960s). And Kubrick kept as much as he could from practically everything he did. That is WHY there is able to be a touring exhibition of his work. Which BTW includes one of the models of Discovery, The PanAm space Shuttle, and the Moon Lander craft. Even a model of the centrifuge constructed to work out the plans for the full size one. Its also the case that a while after 2001 (under MGM ownership) and StarWars around 10 years later was shot there, that is late 1970s early 80s, the studio ownership had reverted to the local council of Borehamwood. They, in their infinite wisdom and looking to raise money sold half the studio site, which was then developed into a Tesco Supermarket. Where the Centrifuge stood became the store's cafe. Also, note that though the live action which would have been on the sets, was shot in Elstree, the sfx and minuature construction was in California. So this may have been a factor in what was kept and what was not. Kubrick's next film, Clockwork Orange, was shot on locations in and around Borehamwood, and Thamesmead to the East of London. Kubrick lived near St Albans which is farly near Borehamwood. Also at the time there wasn't the plethora of SciFi space films that Starwars created. There was though, Silent Running, directed by Doug Trumbull, who did some of the sfx on 2001, but this was done entirely in California. Might it have used some sets form 2001 unless they had been destroyed? I'm not so sure. I don't think he would have dared and it would have been too obvious anyway. Yes I was familiar with the story about how when making 2010 having been unable to find THE PLANS for how discovery was internally configured, in order to make sense of travelling around the inside, they finally contacted Kubrick, who replied that there wasn't a coherent inside geography of Discovery and that they should just do what they wanted. I think its a stretch to say he had the sets destroyed to prevent reuse, unless there is specific evidence to verify that. The comment you quote is just heresay.

See the previous Rick Nineg video about the Wizard of Oz. He shows some really good examples of "painted glass mattes" to create sweeping vistas with actors front and center. Lot's of forced perspective as well. The predecessor to modern digital mattes which technically work the same way to fool the eye. Remember film and television images are engineered to trick the human brain's visual system. To a cat, your computer monitor, TV and cell phone appear to flicker horribly. F'rinstance.

I was always amazed by that scene too - looked so real ( to me) 😊

The original Star Wars comes to mind. George Lucas was will readily admit he was heavily influenced by this Classic.

Also, the vehicle was reused in a Twilight Zone episode - The Rip Van Winkle Caper

Loved that scene! Fascinating!

Robby appeared only once in Lost In Space, they had their own robot, that Robby showed up to fight in one episode,.

I used to watch The Gale Storm Show and the others that you mentioned.

Thank you!

Fun fun stuff right?

@@ricknineg Absolutely!!! 😁

It looks the same to me too.

🙏

Apparently Marvin Miller (voice of Robby) also narrated the trailer for Forbidden Planet. If you watch the trailer the voices sort of sound similar, but hard to tell for sure since of course Robby speaks with a robot voice.

Rick makes all of us even smarter.

Some great work I’ve been looking at recently! Very happy to bring it to you

Thanks Christopher!

* Robby.

@@seikibrian8641 Oh, okay. Thanks.

Robby's jeep (slightly modified) was also used in the episode "The Rip Van Winkle Caper."

Yes, I mentioned that in the video 😃

One definitely has to acclimatize themselves to slower pacing in these older movies. But it is def worth it

-U just grabbed it while no one was looking? The overhead camera probably show U shoplifting.

I was going to say that also. If not the same very similar. Depending upon my memory. 🤓

Robbie the Robot was in two episodes of the original Lost in Space "War of the Robots" that episode was in black and white season 1 and Robbie the Robot was a evil Robot. He was also in the episode "Condemned of Space" he played a prison guard and that was in season 3

Thanks awesome! So happy I can do that

True!

Would Rick Nineg cooked be delicious? His videos are!

Cooking the books?

"The Wonder Film of the 20th Century!" - Forrest J. Ackerman

You are correct. It's what they call stock footage. It was employed a lot on the T.V. show The Time Tunnel.

James Drury, later to star in the tv series "The Virginian", was a member of the crew

Robby the Robot made more than an appearance on Lost in Space. You might say that he was a regular member of the cast.

@@rhinehardt1 No, it was only the one appearance

Are you referring to the TV show. Because on that show, Robby the Robot was Will Robinson's faithful companion every episode, every week.

@@rhinehardt1 I believe they just addressed the Lost in Space Robot as just, “Robot”. Robby the Robot debuted in the Forbidden Planet Movie in 1956.

Loved this movie, by the way, especially Robby and Anne!

@@seikibrian8641 Talk to text and/or spellcheck is creating your concern. 🙄

There’s definitely also room for a part two. Understand I always try to focus my videos very sharply. So there is always room to expand or revisit topics. I could do a whole video just on the effects of this film. Great idea! Thanks for the support, Robert

@@ricknineg Considering the time frame of the release of this film is what makes this movie so superior in special effects. Thanks for the shout out, I’ll be looking for that video. I have an Associate Degree in Electronics and know how to use the art of misdirection in magic, so I know how some of the illusions were set up. The creature has always fascinates me.
