And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

M.G.M.’s Forbidden Planet movie still
.
They're blasting Robby the Robot! The guy on the right might be Leslie Nielsen
.
This movie is always in my top ten of all time. So far ahead of its time, and still such a great watch. If you haven't seen it, you must.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites of all time. I might have seen it 30 or more times.
DeleteI think Nielsen is actually on the left closest to Robby.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct.
DeleteFrom left to right it's Robbie, Nielsen and then Stevens (playing the ships doc).
ReplyDeleteI've watched this movie so many times since it came out on DVD.
As I recall, Anne Francis was quite the looker in that film..
ReplyDeleteYou recall correctly. What a babe!
DeleteHoney West!
DeleteYUP, I agree Nielsen is in the middle.
ReplyDeleteI am serious...and don't call me Shirley
ReplyDeleteNielson's in the middle, showing off the acclaimed Frank Drebbin shooting position.
ReplyDeleteA mean bunch of "Red Shirts" attacking that poor robot with hairdryers...
ReplyDeleteTwo Techs with impact drivers from intersteller lube shop preparing to change robbie's lug nuts Me thinks.
ReplyDeleteDrebbin in the middle.
DeleteIconic, fantastic. The special effects were so far ahead of their time.
