Leslie Nielsen as Commander Adams
"Forbidden Planet" is a sci-fi masterpiece and one of my all time favorite films. It stars Leslie Nielsen as the dashing and brave Commander Adams and will forever remind us of this great mans fantastic and long career as an actor. May he forever shine among the stars...
The Star Wars films are hugely influenced by "Forbidden Planet" and sadly Irvin Kershner, the director of my absolute favorite; "Star Wars Episode 5 - The Empire Strikes Back", passed away today also. His impact on generations of Star Wars fans is substantial , as he gave us the funniest, most romantic and dramatic film in the whole series. His commentary track on the DVD edition is superb and left me with the impression that Mr. Kershner was a funny and warmhearted man. May the force be with him always...
