INVISIBLE BOY, THE(1957) MOVIE PAGE


This is an extra in the two disc Forbidden
Planet DVD! Basic story is that a man who
is in control of a very powerful computer
gets ambushed by his son and a robot(Robbie
from Forbidden Planet)! B-

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Such a strange film. One that doesn't really
know which gimmick to run with: the super
computer, the borrowed and infamous Robby
the robot, invisibility, or space travel.
It's a schizophrenic jumble of the time's
sci-fi staples, with absurdly weak links.
Still, I can't say it was ever dull.

One thing that struck me about this picture,
was the dry humor involving the Scientist
father. He reacts almost casually to his
son's sudden intelligence boost and invisibility.
It comes off like a satire of the Cleaver-type
family, and was a welcome surprise.

Give this one a chance if you catch it on
Turner Classic Movies one night. But I
wouldn't recommend seeking it out for
purchase. - vjuhoh
