One of the greatest Sci Fi films ever made, and the first Sci Fi film I ever saw. As a 6 year old, I was musing with my father that if I had a robot, I would name it Robbie. He then informed me that there was a robot in a film whose name was Robbie. Well, that did it. In retrospect it was a tad too intense for a 6 year old, and to this day - 63 years later, I remember my nightmare. I love this film!
@jay Andre Saw it in the movies! Elmont Theater on Long Island. Wonder if the theater is still there, last time I drove through the neighborhood, about 2 years ago, the area looked like a set for war of the worlds.
Oh please, this doesn't even rank in the top 100. For the TIME the special effects were impressive, but other than that, it was a pretty trite and drawn out story filled with plot holes, and obvious hints as to what is going on.
I laughed at the sound of the fruit thumping onto the floor in real life when it was tossed into the "disposall unit" without the effects that appeared in the final film.
This is great. I love the scene with Anne Francis and the tiger. Anne was absolutely beautiful and I love all kitty-cats! Good combination, in my humble opinion!
Now, Leslie Nielsen's line, "Jerry...you..." from the finished movie makes sense. It was a beginning of a complaint that Jerry was a bit reckless about "astrogating" the ship too close to the star Altair. But you never hear the rest of the complaint in the finished movie. Robby's ham radio-type voice is amusing in comparison to what we hear in the movie as well.
I watched this when I was a little kid and it scared the hell out of me. The scene where the invisible Id bends the stairs. And when it's partly visible as it contacts the perimeter fence.
The dialogue at the beginning shows how swiftly technology evolved--from people believing travel to the moon was over 100 years away to it actually happening less than 15 years later
Very cool. Thanks for posting. "Monsters Of The Id". There is no way that kind of creativity happens nowadays. It seems all movies follow a formula now.
Classic film. What floors me is that there's a huge gaping back door for a whole untouched line of canon "sequels", after all if the Krell were already a space-faring race millions of years ago, they must've long colonized and civilized hundreds of worlds untouched by the calamity on mother world.
Really wish they'd left in that part where Adams gets annoyed with the navigator for putting them out of Hyperdrive so close to Altair: "Put us in the shadow of the first planet out from the primary!" First, it's a good-sounding bit of dialogue, and Second (and most importantly), it explains how "This ship arranges its own eclipses," as it's shown in the theatrical cut.
this movie changed my life! i was in the back seat of mom and dads 1955 chevy belare...i have been assoiated with sy-fi every since. seen at Eastlake Drive-in in 1956. Eastlake, Ohio.
bobie Hanners Same here... saw it at the local movie palace in it's first run in 1956. Used the Quaker Oats 'free ticket' to get in with my dad. I was hypnotized for months.....
Me too... When I saw it (age 7) it was a week-night and the seats were all empty. Undistracted by coughing customers and crunching popcorn, I was transported directly to Altair 4. I'd never seen a Cinamascope movie before...our family rarely went to movies. Now that I think about it, before Forbidden Planet, the only movie we actually went to see was a re-release of The Wizard of Oz at a drive in when I was maybe 4. I saw it at The theater where I saw it was a very lavish movie house built back in the 1920's with double balcony's and a massive screen...quite the experience.
Here's an interesting story. The movie palace that I saw FB at in 1956 is still in existence and imagine my shock when I discovered that the current operators, a couple years ago, started a classic film series, and guess what movie they kicked the whole thing off with....?.... that's right. I about fell over dead, because I missed it by one week. Imagine the thrill of sitting in the same exact seat in the same exact theater and viewing FP on the silver screen again. Bummer. :)
Alta's ability to keep the wild animals tame was never explained in the film, especially since at one point, at least one of them mysteriously becomes ferocious. At least in this outtake, the doctor's "explanation" can seem to suggest that later the tiger leaps at Alta because she is no longer "pure". Whether that is just all the kissing she has been introduced to by then, or if some of the crewmen introduced her to something MORE, is worth speculating.
I think we're meant to believe the tiger is no longer under Altaira's influence because her sexual feelings have been awakened. Anything more than that is left to the imagination!
At about 0.51 the round plastic orb with a model of the ship inside was also used in the old Twilight Zone TV show episode 'Hocus, Pocus and Frisbee' with Andy Devine and Howard McNear (Floyd the barber from the Andy Griffith Show) .
Yeah, I always find it funny how he kept commenting on Star Trek as "Wagon Train to the stars" when it really had no similarity to it whatsoever. This was the genesis!
@@HerrEllsworth Exactly....:) Roddenberry avoided reference to FP doggedly for decades. It was required viewing for everyone involved in the show, especially script writers.
What I find interesting is that at the same time Disney was producing space documentaries introduced by Von Braun speculating about trips to the Moon (On here). Yet the introduction speaks of 'The final decade of the 21st century' Given that the film makers borrowed talent from Disney I wonder where that prediction came from? Surely not from Von Braun - probably a gross miscalculation on the part of the script writer. However at the rate were're going I doubt we'll ever reach the outer planets.
He He. It was made the year I was born also. It is my favorite sci fi, old school. Thank you for sharing the outtakes with us and explaining the other sceens. I have a copy of Forbidden Planet but is not from the Criterian collection. Is the visual better on you version?
This is not Just about the Krell destroying themselves with machines. This is about man, the tool maker, building ever more powerful machines, eventually destroying himself.
When I was growing up in the 50s, I remember seeing some scenes from Forbidden Planet on Disney's Sunday night program. As the years went on, Disney usually showed clips from animated movies he was producing. As the studio got into non-animated movies, he would preview those on his show also. These were about the first from a non-animated feature that I can recall. I didn't realize until years later that Disney didn't produce Forbidden Planet - only some of the special effects. I think Disney showed the clips before Forbidden Planet was released and talked a little about the movie. As I remember, one clip included the spaceship landing and that glorious spacescape background. A second included the nighttime sequence where you see steps of the invisible monster depressing first the ground and then steps on the stairs of the spaceship. The clips were accompanied by that eerie electronic music They made such an impression on me that I remember them now after almost seven decades. What's surprising is that I don't remember Disney showing any scenes with Robbie the Robot ... who turned out to be such a hit. Was that because Robbie wasn't a Disney special effect, or there were Robbie scenesand they just didn't impress a 9 year-old?
@@johnbrady6276 I know that Joshua Meador, on loan from the Walt Disney studios, did the animation, Chesley Bonestell did the matte paintings for the space scapes. Electronic music was by Bebe and Louis Barron made on a Moog synthesizer. Many people later erroneously thought it was made on a Theremin.
robby's voice was revived later..also the sound that the creature made in this movie was later used for the t.v. show LOST and the smoke monster..listen and you will the exact same sound.
Well they'd obviously taken time to make the voice sound a little synthetic and synchronize it with the Robot's lights so it gave me the impression that it was more than just a man offscreen,
Heh heh..."the speed of light was at last attained and later greatly surpassed".Did they find a way to obtain temperatures lower than absolute zero, too?Actually it is quite impressive that they even make the claim, as outlandish as it is -- it shows that someone did the necessary research and realized they had to confront the issue one way or another in the introduction.
@JZ's Best Friend So you're saying, you have no problem with destroying people's income life and livelyhood over an unimportant comment on social media?
@JZ's Best Friend Sure. The things you can/cannot say or portray in a film in todays' media environment..this is steering every aspect of film today..and enforcement of this modern "cultural revolution" is accomplished by fear..fear of being silenced, fear of losing your multi million dollar film deals, fear of being "De-Platformed" and losing your online business..it's Maoist Red China all over again. Far beyond upholding any "morality" standards, it intendes to mind control an entire generation into a narrow political doctrine.
In the old days, movies were projects of passion. This film was made by Sci Fi enthusiasts for Sci Fi enthusiasts. These days, movies are made to satisfy the lowest common denominator.
I once read an account of the movie which stated that some prints showed Anne Francis in a flesh-colored swimsuit instead of the white one in all home releases. Is that true?
Final decade of the twenty FIRST century man landed on the moon - wow, seriously underestimated that QuantoGravitic hyperdrive - don't remember that in the final print - did they really say that?
The cut scene of dropping out of warp speed and landing too near the star may have been deleted at the request of CIA reps in the cutting room since the moonlandings would look more dubious. Afterall, how can Apollo go around without any parasol so close to the sun? Indeed, at 1 a.u. the sun heats objects to 125°C. Therefore any vessel out there needs some kind of shade. The Captain's preferred approach would've surely involved using the shadow of the planet as cover from a long way out, far back enough to have a comfortable 20°C, which would probably be somewhere around Jupiter in our solar system.
The LEMs had reflective foil over most of their outer surface for thermal control. As far as anyone worrying about how the public would perceive moon landings, NASA itself didn’t even exist when this movie was made. There was no space program, and there were no plans to go to the moon. The coming Apollo program wasn’t even a gleam in anyone’s eye (well, maybe Werner von Braun’s) at this point…there was nothing for anyone to hide, and virtually no one had thought of any of the equipment that actually would be developed as the Apollo mission hardware set.
Yes it was poorly edited out a and left the captain too easily satisfied with the explanation. However I'm glad they changed Robbie's voice and cut out the scene on the 'car'
In the deleted opening note the use of the term 'Federation' "Mankind banded together in a single Federation" I wonder of Mr Rodenberry ever heard this unused introduction?
no I wish the pre landing scenes were left in. They gave more depth to the crew relationship and better fit the screenplay intent. However time constraints are tough on a director. I'd buy a copy from MGM that had them spliced back in. Too bad the United Planets cruiser model is not on display at Culver Studios. Agnes Moorehead chopped it up with a hatchet in TZone.
Problems with the speed of light...current physics says it's impossible (note I said CURRENT theories of physics)..secondly what happens if you HIT something going that fast..???
Radrook 2 lol, it's really that simple..how do you control a vessel going that fast and you are bound to challenge something solid for space eventually..
@@oilsmokejones3452 You navigate to avoid hitting things. Any sub-light speed object will appear to be moving backwards in time, so you will know where it came form, and thus can avoid going through where it has been. And if you are really good at it, you can do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs ;)
Speed of light is the speed limit in the physical universe..no physical object can travel that fast without changing its vibration to a much higher level..like that of light itself...speed of mind is even faster ! BLACK HOLES hold the answers to many mysteries we have yet to unravel about this physical universe we are in now...without them the physical universe would collapse entirely...they are "bridges"to a parallel universe which supports the 1 were in now...we live in a "multi-dimensional" universe...just because we cant see them doesn't mean they don't exist..they are the sub-structure"blue prints" if you will ,of our physical universe...Quantum physics is finding out these secrets slowly but surely...were on the brink of great revelation of truth + knowledge.....mindblowing stuff!
JERRY?! JERRY WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME?! JERRY IT HOT IN HERE! JERRY I TOLD YOU NOT TO KEEP GOING SO CLOSE! JERRY I WARNED YOU! JERRY JERRY JERRY~!~~~~!!~~
Smart cuts, one and all. Art is letting the audience create part of the movie. You serve it all up, down to unicorns, and it shrinks. Classic sci-fi with a brain... and one not from the planet Arous.
The driving scene didn't look too bad,except they kept showing the same background footage over and over again. And Robby's voice was very annoying, he sounded like a drunk trucker on a CB radio.
"Deleted" means they were cut out of the film by the time it was released to the public. Obviously it does not mean that the actual strips of movie film were destroyed. They were preserved among all the other elements that went into the finished film.
Forbidden Planet is one of the two best science fiction movies ever made, in my opinion (Forbidden Planet and 2001: A Space Odyssey). What makes Forbidden Planet great is NOT because of the pioneering special effects, the robot, the outer space theme. It's because of the IDEA... the idea that our subconscious is a slime-filled pit of horror, degradation, and murderous instincts (Freud called it the "Id.") The movie has a psychological theme, not an outer space theme. But there's a HORRIBLE GAP in the movie. The original script has TWO brilliant ideas. Only ONE is in the film!.The SECOND GREAT IDEA is not in the movie! Here are the two ideas - and only Great Idea #1 made it into the film. GREAT IDEA #1 - Darn that pesky Subconscious Mind! The Krell forgot about their primitive instincts. Therefore, when their new MIND OVER MATTER tech was powered up, each Krell sent out a monster from their subconscious to kill. Bye, bye Krell. (Let's hope we Earthlings don't reach the same end with our Artificial Intelligence tech!) What A Really Cool Machine! Why'd You Build It? The film never says WHY the Krell invented a 'mind into matter' technology in the first place. Was the purpose just for shits and giggles? (as the British say). Nope. The book and the original screenplay say that there was MUCH MORE behind the Krell's technology. That's the SECOND GREAT IDEA - but it didn't make it into the movie. That's why we need a new Forbidden Planet: The Prequel. GREAT IDEA #2 - Let's Create Life... From Scratch! Western culture has the myth that a God took dust (inorganic matter) and used his mind to create people (organic matter). The Krell did the same thing - changed inorganic matter into organic matter - a rock into a rabbit, so to speak. Thus, the reason why the Krell invented their mind-into-matter technology was TO CREATE LIFE FROM SCRATCH, just like God supposedly did. The new Krell life was NOT based on previous biology or evolution on their planet. It was shaped purely from their imagination (just like God did). Remember that Commander Adams says at the end of the movie that we humans are not god? That line now makes sense! Remember that the doctor says that the creature that attacked the ship could not exist in the real world and could never have been produced by evolution? Now that line makes sense! The Krell forgot their primitive beginnings. Like us humans, the Krell arose from simple creatures and evolved into a super-intelligent, hi tech civilization. They forgot that in their minds (just like in our minds) there always lurks the instinct to kill, to gain power, to win at any cost, etc. This resulted in a bloodbath and the end of their entire civilization. I can't wait for a movie about the backstory of the Krell! I'd like to see what happened when Dr. Morbious met the Krell and the story of his daughter, Altaira. I'd lke to see how he later killed the Bellerophon astronauts. And don't make it as horrible as the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still, or I'll send out my own Id monsters!
A fascinating explanation of the purpose of that mind/reality machine. However, if you can build a machine, you can put limits upon it. Think bad thoughts and whatever censorship you put in place makes pretty bunny rabbits appear instead of monsters. Kinda like on any public internet forum today!
I remember seeing a film about time travel, an old movie (must be 1955 to 1975 at most) I think they used a "claw" or "footprint" of a lizard like humanoid that lived among dinosaurs to reach the time they wanted... When they kill the tryranosaur they try to come back... and the present is ruled by those lizard creatures... I think they end going back and fixing everything, but I'm not sure... Someone know this one??
It must've been loosely based on a Ray Bradbury short story I remember reading back in the 1960s. People could travel back in time to "hunt" dinosaurs, but they could only shoot them if they were about to die in some other way. This was to prevent the hunters from doing something which could affect the time that they came from, in the future. One guy goes walking around where he wasn't supposed to, and accidentally steps on and kills a butterfly. When they all go back to their time, everything's changed for the worst, and the man finds the dead butterfly in the mud on the bottom of his boot and they realize that's what ruined everything.
(0:55) Wow. Somebody actually thought to use realistic dates for when humanity might accomplish these things. ;) Of course, while we may have gotten to the moon way before the last decade of the 21st century, they DID say "men AND women"! ;)
Hooray 4 CinemaScope, and Panavision, and various aspect ratios 2come, and hamburgers! In 'n Out burgers, Wolfe Burgers! And fries. Hooray 4 fries! Enuf said.
Well, sure; that's the point. There are no other humans except her father, and it would be really unthinkable for HIM to have had sex with her, yes? But they certainly weren't going to spell that out in detail in the '50s.

This was a Treat! This was the first Sci-Fi movie I saw as a kid. it became my favorite along with War of the Worlds and When World's Collide.
I laughed at the sound of the fruit thumping onto the floor in real life when it was tossed into the "disposall unit" without the effects that appeared in the final film.
Thanks for posting this its very interesting to see. It just shows a classic film is made as much in the editing room as on the stage.
I always wondered what the Captain was freaking out about when they arrived near the star for the first time. Now I know. Thanks!

Yes, all true!! That's why I love seeing outtakes and alternate versions!!
@@videoholic50s60s70s the original Robby voice clips are like seeing Darth Vader clips with David Prowse's voice.

Most of the CGI movies produced today will very dated when played 10 years later , never mind 65 years later.

Yes, she wore a flesh-colored suit. In new DVD prints, you can actually make it out in a couple of frames.
Astute edits.
Final decade of the twenty FIRST century man landed on the moon - wow, seriously underestimated that
QuantoGravitic hyperdrive - don't remember that in the final print - did they really say that?
It's the same with "Altair". We all know Mr. Spock liked to drink Altair water.

Yes it was poorly edited out a and left the captain too easily satisfied with the explanation. However I'm glad they changed Robbie's voice and cut out the scene on the 'car'
AWESOME MOVIE !!!
That sounds like the premise of original star trek
Saw this when I was young now they charge more that I paid to see it !
So Cool! Thanks.
Faster than the speed of light ?
LMAO !
Obe obi jin jin, yes. It is called warp or gravitational waves. Google it.
Nice.
quanto dedratetic hyperdrive ??? need a burst of that in me isuzu blade
Didnt that cook wander in from a WW2 movie?
Earl Holloway - everyone in this cast became famous
XMIR10C
The actor's name is Earl Holliman. Some years later he was Angie Dickinson's boss on the TV series Police Woman.
Teaparty, that is hilarious. Everyone is wearing the latest space togs and the cook looks like he just crawled out of a WWII submarine.

Saucers rule!!!
In the deleted opening note the use of the term 'Federation' "Mankind banded together in a single Federation" I wonder of Mr Rodenberry ever heard this unused introduction?
Yes. He ripped off that and most of this film for star trek.

5:21 do you speak proper yorkshire ? Aye Up !! I do !
no I wish the pre landing scenes were left in. They gave more depth to the crew relationship and better fit the screenplay intent. However time constraints are tough on a director.
I'd buy a copy from MGM that had them spliced back in.
Too bad the United Planets cruiser model is not on display at Culver Studios. Agnes Moorehead chopped it up with a hatchet in TZone.
+S Tho
I remember that episode of the Twilight Zone.
LOL!
fuck yeah!!! I love Delilah's cuchee!!
I am monitored to misuse the word "monitored".
Quantope-what drive?
Quantope-hyperdrive.
Problems with the speed of light...current physics says it's impossible (note I said CURRENT theories of physics)..secondly what happens if you HIT something going that fast..???
Radrook 2
lol, it's really that simple..how do you control a vessel going that fast and you are bound to challenge something solid for space eventually..
@@oilsmokejones3452 You navigate to avoid hitting things. Any sub-light speed object will appear to be moving backwards in time, so you will know where it came form, and thus can avoid going through where it has been.
And if you are really good at it, you can do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs ;)
Speed of light is the speed limit in the physical universe..no physical object can travel that fast without changing its vibration to a much higher level..like that of light itself...speed of mind is even faster ! BLACK HOLES hold the answers to many mysteries we have yet to unravel about this physical universe we are in now...without them the physical universe would collapse entirely...they are "bridges"to a parallel universe which supports the 1 were in now...we live in a "multi-dimensional" universe...just because we cant see them doesn't mean they don't exist..they are the sub-structure"blue prints" if you will ,of our physical universe...Quantum physics is finding out these secrets slowly but surely...were on the brink of great revelation of truth + knowledge.....mindblowing stuff!
JERRY?! JERRY WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME?! JERRY IT HOT IN HERE! JERRY I TOLD YOU NOT TO KEEP GOING SO CLOSE! JERRY I WARNED YOU! JERRY JERRY JERRY~!~~~~!!~~
Quando quando drive?
Quanto-Gravitum
Maravilhoso.
Wow. 2090 to get to the moon and 2200 to get to other planets in the solar system.
Ye, it's a dry heat.
It was the Star Wars of its time.
Most interesting...
is this on the dvd?
Yes, I have a copy. Not sure if it's still in print though.
Smart cuts, one and all.
Art is letting the audience create part of the movie.
You serve it all up, down to unicorns, and it shrinks.
Classic sci-fi with a brain... and one not from the planet Arous.
Sci Fi movies were so much better back then.
The driving scene didn't look too bad,except they kept showing the same background footage over and over again.
And Robby's voice was very annoying, he sounded like a drunk trucker on a CB radio.
LMFAO!!! I agree. The robot's voice sounds too tinny, like the sound coming from an old walkie-talkie.
"Skipper" ? Wasn't that an old WW2 term?
Harold Price used in cricket way before that.
So did McCoy when under the influence of Spock's Katra.
If the scenes were DELETED you would not have them.
"Deleted" means they were cut out of the film by the time it was released to the public. Obviously it does not mean that the actual strips of movie film were destroyed. They were preserved among all the other elements that went into the finished film.
fascinating
rocket ships
hehehe
lol the first versions sounds like star trek
Forbidden Planet is one of the two best science fiction movies ever made, in my opinion (Forbidden Planet and 2001: A Space Odyssey).
What makes Forbidden Planet great is NOT because of the pioneering special effects, the robot, the outer space theme. It's because of the IDEA... the idea that our subconscious is a slime-filled pit of horror, degradation, and murderous instincts (Freud called it the "Id.") The movie has a psychological theme, not an outer space theme.
But there's a HORRIBLE GAP in the movie. The original script has TWO brilliant ideas. Only ONE is in the film!.The SECOND GREAT IDEA is not in the movie! Here are the two ideas - and only Great Idea #1 made it into the film.
GREAT IDEA #1 - Darn that pesky Subconscious Mind!
The Krell forgot about their primitive instincts. Therefore, when their new MIND OVER MATTER tech was powered up, each Krell sent out a monster from their subconscious to kill. Bye, bye Krell. (Let's hope we Earthlings don't reach the same end with our Artificial Intelligence tech!)
What A Really Cool Machine! Why'd You Build It?
The film never says WHY the Krell invented a 'mind into matter' technology in the first place. Was the purpose just for shits and giggles? (as the British say). Nope. The book and the original screenplay say that there was MUCH MORE behind the Krell's technology. That's the SECOND GREAT IDEA - but it didn't make it into the movie. That's why we need a new Forbidden Planet: The Prequel.
GREAT IDEA #2 - Let's Create Life... From Scratch!
Western culture has the myth that a God took dust (inorganic matter) and used his mind to create people (organic matter). The Krell did the same thing - changed inorganic matter into organic matter - a rock into a rabbit, so to speak. Thus, the reason why the Krell invented their mind-into-matter technology was TO CREATE LIFE FROM SCRATCH, just like God supposedly did. The new Krell life was NOT based on previous biology or evolution on their planet. It was shaped purely from their imagination (just like God did).
Remember that Commander Adams says at the end of the movie that we humans are not god?
That line now makes sense!
Remember that the doctor says that the creature that attacked the ship could not exist in the real world and could never have been produced by evolution?
Now that line makes sense!
The Krell forgot their primitive beginnings. Like us humans, the Krell arose from simple creatures and evolved into a super-intelligent, hi tech civilization. They forgot that in their minds (just like in our minds) there always lurks the instinct to kill, to gain power, to win at any cost, etc. This resulted in a bloodbath and the end of their entire civilization.
I can't wait for a movie about the backstory of the Krell! I'd like to see what happened when Dr. Morbious met the Krell and the story of his daughter, Altaira. I'd lke to see how he later killed the Bellerophon astronauts.
And don't make it as horrible as the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still, or I'll send out my own Id monsters!
A fascinating explanation of the purpose of that mind/reality machine. However, if you can build a machine, you can put limits upon it. Think bad thoughts and whatever censorship you put in place makes pretty bunny rabbits appear instead of monsters. Kinda like on any public internet forum today!
It's a flesh colored bathing suit
what's a bathing suit
a single federation @36 seconds, whats this mean a one world government?
The original Twilight Zone used the ship in a few episodes.
I remember seeing a film about time travel, an old movie (must be 1955 to 1975 at most)
I think they used a "claw" or "footprint" of a lizard like humanoid that lived among dinosaurs to reach the time they wanted...
When they kill the tryranosaur they try to come back... and the present is ruled by those lizard creatures... I think they end going back and fixing everything, but I'm not sure...
Someone know this one??
"A Sound of Thunder"
It must've been loosely based on a Ray Bradbury short story I remember reading back in the 1960s. People could travel back in time to "hunt" dinosaurs, but they could only shoot them if they were about to die in some other way. This was to prevent the hunters from doing something which could affect the time that they came from, in the future. One guy goes walking around where he wasn't supposed to, and accidentally steps on and kills a butterfly. When they all go back to their time, everything's changed for the worst, and the man finds the dead butterfly in the mud on the bottom of his boot and they realize that's what ruined everything.

Less is more. The original was a masterpiece.

(0:55) Wow. Somebody actually thought to use realistic dates for when humanity might accomplish these things. ;) Of course, while we may have gotten to the moon way before the last decade of the 21st century, they DID say "men AND women"! ;)

dune used their props
In other words, Alta was a virgin.
But they couldn't just say that in a movie in the 1950's. Would've had the censors passed out with a case of the vapors!
Well, sure; that's the point. There are no other humans except her father, and it would be really unthinkable for HIM to have had sex with her, yes? But they certainly weren't going to spell that out in detail in the '50s.
Good try👍😁👜!!
Much better without these scenes.
Star trek ripped off a lot of this movie. Like the dr looking into the Spock scope thingy.
