In this episode of "History in Reverse" we compare the 1956 movie "Forbidden Planet" to the play "The Tempest". "Forbidden Planet" was one of the early big budget science fiction movies. In fact it was nominated for its special effects. "Forbidden Planet" was loosely based on "The Tempest", so that's why we decided to compare the two.
We want to mention that Prospero did not kill Sycorax (the mother of Caliban). She was already dead when Prospero and Miranda arrived on the island.
