Based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest, screenplay by Cyril Hume, directed by Fred M Wilcox. Starring Leslie Nielsen, Walter Pidgeon, and Anne Francis

Two centuries into the future, a spaceship travels to a distant planet where a reclusive scientist and his lovely daughter live, apart from mankind. Dr Morbius seems to have almost superhuman powers while a mysterious monster lurks in the shadows. This influential sci-fi adventure (with Oscar-nominated special effects) does indeed appear to be such stuff as dreams are made on.
