A major milestones in science fiction film production.

Produced in an era in which music studios had only begun to treat science friction subjects as serious works of art, this classic film starred Walter Pidgeon as the enigmatic Dr. Edward Morbius, Leslie Neilsen as heroic Commander John Adams, and Anne Francis as Morbius' alluring daugther Altaira. The most memorable member of cast , though, was Robby the Robot. The first of the friendly robots to appear in early science fiction, the gentle, mischievous Robby spoke 187 languages and had his own build-in chemical laboratory from which he could prepare anything from lunch to star sapphire. Robby inspired a host of imitators.
