Forbidden Planet is a 1956 science fiction film and a subsequent novelization by W.J. Stuart. The film features a number of Oscar-nominated special effects, groundbreaking use of an all-electronic music score, and the first screen appearance of both: the famous Robby the Robot and the famous C-57D flying saucer starship. The film's characters and setting were inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest,though the plot is very different. Also notable is its very effective execution and use of well designed sets, flats, props, matte paintings and sound stage scenic paintings. The production was supervised by Dore Schary, the film's uncredited executive producer.
CONDITION OF THE VINYL,COVER, AND AUTOGRAPHS IS VG PLUS.
This husband and wife composer team is best known for the soundtrack to the 1956 MGM feature film, Forbidden Planet. Less well known is their close relationship to the composer John Cage, and their contributions to electronic music in general. The two began working together shortly after their wedding in 1948; the next year they founded an electro-acoustic music studio in their New York apartment, where they experimented with tape, musique concrète, and electronic sound sources. The Barrons built their own equipment. In 1953, Cage used their studio for the composition of Williams Mix -- his first tape work.
