Cool!!

Although I must observe that poor Robbie looks quite despondent in that second pic that Leslie Nielson has the girl and he doesn't!! :)

Unfortunately, "The Illustrated Man" is one dull movie - IMHO.

/\/\ But, it does have one of the few appearances on film of the ship from "Planet of the Apes" so I will definitely be buying it so screen grabs of the ship can be added to my web site! :thumbsup:

Altho I know what you mean, it will always have a very special place in my heart from childhood. It's kind of "mysterious" in that semi-cheezy Night Gallery way that I hold so dear. Day-for-night photography in the Agoura hills (or Malibu canyon or Chatsworth or Ojai) - hey I used to live there man!

And that moody and plaintive Moog synthesizer music - how I love that stuff.

And I've always loved Claire Bloom - Limelight suddenly comes to mind.

MMmmm Forbidden Planet
This will be a must have for me..
