Forbidden Planet @ 7th Street Theatre
Sep 1 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet at 7thStreet Theatre September 1-2

A story set in a universe in which man may be the ultimate monster, “Forbidden Planet” shows at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, September 1 and 2:00 p.m. Sunday, September 2 at Grays Harbor’s historic 7thStreet Theatre in downtown Hoquiam.

One of the best of the atomic age science fiction films, this 1956 classic relies on neither giant mutant monsters nor bug-eyed aliens. Instead it combines intellect and action as it considers the nature of mankind as it struggles to find its place in outer space.

Walter Pidgeon plays Dr. Morbius, creator of Robbie the Robot but also keeper of a dark secret. Anne Francis provides classic ’50s sci-fi eye candy as his daughter, Altaira, and Leslie Nielsen, more than 30 years before his “Naked Gun” comedies, is the straight and serious spaceship captain out to solve the mystery, save the day, and get the girl.

Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. Saturday showing, and 1:30 p.m. for the 2 p.m. Sunday showing. The theatre is at 313 7thStreet in downtown Hoquiam. Tickets are $6, available at the door or in advance at Harbor Drug and Crown Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen, and online at www.7thstreettheatre.com.
