This is the famous "Forbidden Planet", one of the first really good SF
movies. It has been on TV, at least here in St. Louis, but not as often
as many movies far below it in quality or interest -- I don't know why.

It might be interesting to do a detailed comparison between the Star Trek
series and Forbidden Planet; I think Star Trek owed a lot to Forbidden
Planet in many aspects. Anybody out there with both Forbidden Planet and
the first year of Star Trek on videotape who wants do do a thesis?
