forbidden planet was better than it had any right to be. if it weren't for the hays code, it would have been still better yet. as it was, one had to be a sharp reader between the lines to uncover the incest subplot between the 2 main characters.

The movie was also a sci/fi retelling of Shakespeare's, The Tempest.

so the incestuous theme seems to have carried over from that as well.

Many of the old movies in the "Golden Age" of Hollywood are just amazing as was the acting.

I agree, so were a lot of independent or foreign movies. Like "Nosferatu".
