Forbidden Planet

CRITIC’S PICK
Sat., Mar. 1

‘Forbidden Planet’ is on everybody’s list of favorite or greatest science fiction films. Don’t miss seeing this classic sci-fi flick on the big screen at the Plaza Theatre. Prior to the screening, Silver Scream Spook Show, Atlanta’s beloved performance troupe, will present an appropriately themed revue featuring gonzo special effects, pulchritudinous females, goofball humor and other wacky fun stuff.

Starring Leslie Nielsen, Walter Pidgeon and Anne Francis, ‘Forbidden Planet’ was shot on the same set as ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ It was also the first major film to use a soundtrack, composed by Louis and Bebe Barron, performed exclusively on electronic instruments.
