SciFi Movie "Forbidden Planet"

That's because it's a space version of "The Tempest," by one William
Shakespeare.  At least that's what my more literary friends tell me.

I think the voice of Robby the Robot was Marvin Miller, the guy on
"The Millionaire."  Cool movie.  Robby the Robot was clearly designed
by someone in the jukebox business.
