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.
Grew up watching that movie, first several times on a black and white TV. Then decades later on a color TV. Finally watched a special edition DVD, restored copy, on a flat screen LED HiDef screen. And Ann Francis never looked lovelier. And then, for the first time I saw something I had never noticed before. When the Monster from the ID was melting the Krell metal door I clearly saw a stagehand pushing the 'glowing' blocks of metal through the door with a broom-handle. Son of a gun!
all-electronic music track; story loosely "The Tempest".

As a young lad I first became aware of Anne Francis in the role as Honey West. Only much later did I see her in this one. She did not disappoint.
