CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Helen (Patricia Neal) goes to the robot Gort and utters the phrase to stop his destruction.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
All of Washington, D.C., is thrown into a panic when an extraterrestrial spacecraft lands near the White House. Out steps Klaatu (Michael Rennie, in a role intended for Claude Rains), a handsome and soft-spoken interplanetary traveler, whose "bodyguard" is Gort (Lock Martin), a huge robot who spews forth laser-like death rays when danger threatens. After being wounded by an overzealous soldier, Klaatu announces that he has a message of the gravest importance for all humankind, which he will deliver only when all the leaders of all nations will agree to meet with him. World politics being what they are in 1951, Klaatu's demands are turned down and he is ordered to remain in the hospital, where his wounds are being tended. Klaatu escapes, taking refuge in a boarding house, where he poses as one "Mr. Carpenter" (one of the film's many parallels between Klaatu and Christ). There the benign alien gains the confidence of a lovely widow (Patricia Neal) and her son, Bobby (Billy Gray), neither of whom tumble to his other-worldly origins, and seeks out the gentleman whom Bobby regards as "the smartest man in the world" -- an Einstein-like scientist, Dr. Barnhardt (Sam Jaffe). The next day, at precisely 12 o'clock, Klaatu arranges for the world to "stand still" -- he shuts down all electrical power in the world, with the exception of essentials like hospitals and planes in flight. Directed by Robert Wise, who edited Citizen Kane (1941) and The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) for director Orson Welles before going on to direct such major 1960s musicals as West Side Story (1961) and The Sound of Music (1965), The Day the Earth Stood Still was based on the story Farewell to the Master by Harry Bates.

My father took me to the theater to see this film when I was 6 years old, in 1951. I was totally amazed back then. I thought it was real. I saw the movie on a VHS tape at a store about 3 years ago and had to buy it to bring back memories. It was a real attraction Sci-Fi movie back then when movie technology was just starting to really take off. It turned me into a Sci-Fi movie lover. I was hooked after that. I still watch some of the Twilight Zone reruns Ha Ha.
On a BIG screen. You have not lived til you see the wizard of Oz on a Big screen.
@MrPitjoey CGI ruined film for me for the most part, or at least the way it's excessively used... I'd love to see a return back to practical special effects.
Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits. Great shows with great lessons even for today.
Bonega kaj emocia rakonto sinjoro Warren. Lasu viajn memorojn vivi. Dankon pro dividado. Vivu bona kino!
The 1950s were the first Golden Age of science-fiction film making. A lot of drek came out of that decade, but also many all-time classics.
The best scene of all. Everything, right down to the music score. Watch her quiver her jaw as she's approaching Gort. She's incredible.
Magnificent all around. She screams, but she can hold her own with Fran Parker.
Beautifully shot scene. Patricia O'Neal took a huge risk taking a role in a science fiction film at that time. But, what a iconic film it turned out to be!
How did she take a risk?
@@mjf2891 At that time films like this (early science fiction) were not the formulaic and somewhat guaranteed success style of the films that most actors would partake in. However, many of those films have faded away from memory whereas "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is now classified as an iconic film. Hindsight is very 20/20 and it is clear to us yet at the time for an actor of reputation to sign on to something like this is where the risk lies. If it had been rejected she would have been tagged as having taken part in a "silly" project and possibly ridiculed and lost her reputation. People are harsh. Human nature I suppose.
@@kbahrami346 Quite so. But it was both a box-office success and a hit with critics. This turned out to be one of those films that heralded a Golden Age of sci-fi films in the 1950s.
The shadow effect put chills through me
When I first saw this movie on TV as a seven-year old kid, I memorized that phrase and repeated it endlessly for weeks. You never know when it might come in handy.
NBC’s Saturday Night at the Movies.
Klatu !Barada!Niktu !
I did the same!
WE ALL DID. And I'm 73!
@@georgiaslopYep , me too. I was 12 or 13, home alone and scared to death! Had my BB gun for defense. What a great movie. Klaatu was the coolest dude in the universe!
Can you imagine the sheer guts it took to walk in on a scene like that, and still step forward? Unbelievably strong characterization for a woman in a movie from 1951.
You ain’t kidding... She started to back up at first but she knew what was at stake.
🌎
⚡️
🛸
She almost *ed it up, getting scared like a woman and falling down
@@kojak8403 lol true
She pulled it off!
@@nealbradleigh5069 she pulled Gort off 💄 👄
Even the Earth's mightiest chairs were no match for Gort!
They were fold aways !!!!
They were deck chairs from Titanic 😂
Those wimpy chairs just folded.
@@RandomDudeOne so they were folding chairs?
Oh man...thanks for that. Your comment five years ago is making me laugh today
I was 9yrs old, my sister and I had flew to Michigan to see my grandparents, on my dad's side. Had no internet, they lived 20mi from anywhere, and had 40 acres of woods. For entertainment I built card houses, annoyed my sister with disposable camera pictures, hunted squirrels with my grandpa(who paid me $1 per squirrel), and watched movies with him.
These movies consisted of, Scarface (2 VHS tapes back then), Day The Earth Stood Still, Platoon, The Memphis Belle, and others.
Those movies have stuck with me and encouraged my love of cinema years later. My grandpa has passed away today. So I thank him for showing me these films.
Fellow Michigan the day the earth stood still lover
Thank goodness for Patricia Neal,she saved the world by saying those three important words to Gort just in time
Straight up simple TGS. With Klaatus death, Gort was tripped into Assault Mode If she HADN'T been able to get those words out Gort would have gone full Postal on Earth and fried the planet.
JOHN gallagher - i would have peed my pants
John......funny thing is, I still remember those words not having watched this movie since I was as a child.
Glad she knew the words...
🤣😁
I can see from the comments that I'm not the only one who remembers those immortal words like they were handed down from Mount Sinai on stone tablets. They may all laugh at us, but next time a giant rubber suit wearing robot comes to annihilate everyone, we'll see who has the last laugh.
You stole MY THUNDER! I've used that spiel for DECADES, " soooo if you're ever in a tight squeeze with some 8ft tall Robot named GORT blah, blah.....!
Excellent execution of effects for the time!
Oh yes, I concur!
Or when The Book of The Dead is causing havoc and Bruce Campbell can’t remember his lines…..
all in the following comments are missing the point of the movie. I feel sorry for you
@@oliviawutam Nah, we get the point, we're just having a little fun with it. ;-)
A sci-fi masterpiece!
Guilherme Deluca so is HG Wells the Time Machine
Considering when it was made this IMHO is one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time. It didn't just rely on constant action and CGI like today's films... it created real drama with it's creative cinema photography and creepy musical score.
And like all the best sci-fi, it also explored deeper concepts, using the outsider perspective to hold a mirror up to humanity.
@@danieldickson8591 Exactly! Unfortunately humanity appears to have learned nothing from it.
It still is. Hard to beat a great film
Understatement goes a long, long way.
I think it's somewhat widely accepted as one of the better sci-fi movies, among actual critics... modern audiences might not like it quite as much.
And, then you realize that Gort isn't Klaatu's toy. Gort can be a world destroyer. Klaatu is not in charge, Gort is.
Hmm. If I had to deliver a message to Gort I'd be too nervous and blab something like "Klaatu baracuda tic tac toe" and be zapped to oblivion!
Junior Kawai I can't stop laughing at your post!
+Junior Kawai Had I been drinking tea when I read this, it would have been sprayed all over my monitor :)
HAHAHAHAH! I am laughing my head off at this post!
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Shid, after pissing all over myself, I'd probably done no better, with stuttering 'n stammering out "Kla kla kla kla t t tu, ba ba banana, Nun n n necktie!
Yeah, I would have fucked it up for everyone too.
The idling laser weapon inside Gort's helmet ready to unleash unthinkable destruction is awesome.
Being so understated and quiet somehow makes it more menacing than if there was a big loud spectacle.
@@danieldickson8591 Exactly. Dramatic touches like that make this one of the best science fiction movies ever.
I think it might be the inspiration for the lights on the hood of the modified Pontiac Firebird known as " KITT " !!!
Classic sequence with Patricia Neal who must somehow gain the courage to say the words that will save her.. science fiction masterpiece the day the Earth stood still 1951
Save all of us, in fact.
Absolutely THE COOLEST line ever spoken in any sci-fi movie.
"Resistance is Futile" is another cool line.
Or in any Medival movie like "Army of Darkness." 😉
lol not even close.
Probably the most famous line in sci-fi film history, too.
Gort was totally different in the original story. Gnut (his name in the original story), was actually found at the end to be the leader of the expedition to Earth, and Klattu was a sort of ambassador. There is also an amazingly scary part where a reporter (the main human character of the story) one night sneaks into the huge research containment structure built around the immobile Gnut and the ship. He wants some good photos of Gnut, so he hides behind a desk until everyone is gone, then keeps peeking out at Gnut standing about 100 feet away. Each time he looks, Gort is totally motionless as before, but seems to be staring at the reporter. Each time he looks though, Gnut is about 10 feet closer! Finally, and terrified, he looks out one last time, and Gnut is towering over the desk, looking down on him. Man, it's writing genius!
I believe that story was titled, 'Farewell to the Master."
I urge everyone to read the book, also see 'When World's Collide' 1951 Paramount
You're talking about a book not a movie...
Yes, "Farewell To The Master" by Harry Bates is a fantastic story- but the film writers took certain creative liberties when bringing TDTESS to the screen.
Behind every decent movie is a better book. Or at least, a decent script.
Bernard Herrmann composed the score for the movie. His use of the theremin became much imitated in future sci-fi films. From the opening credits to the last scene, his music imbibed the mysterious quality the movie needed. In later years, he was Hitchcock's musical mainstay, creating the soundtrack for Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, The Birds and many more.
You said it, man!
So THAT's where the creepy outer-space sound of fifties movies originiated . . . thanks, didn't know this was where it all began. oooooOOOOOoooooOOOO . . .
Herrmann's own rerecording on London Phase 4 is spectacular.
This is so much more than a science fiction film. I just watched it with my mum who doesn’t do science fiction. She was gripped all the way through. It’s not about whats on display, it’s about engaging what goes on between our ears and this film does that brilliantly. 👏
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. STILL AN AMAZING FILM. MAN. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL.
Beautiful? I'm gonna go with attractive. And was she ever ripped off for Best Actress in "The Subject was Roses" Albertson got one thank goodness!! Powerful! Real Life.
You should see her... and Gary Cooper... in "The Fountainhead." The sexual tension drips from the screen.
Great film! So much better than the newer one. Patricia Neal was a great actress and Michael Rennie was a great actor too.
The "newer one" as you call it, deserves to be shown as a double feature with " Momma Mia, Here We Go Again, P2"
My ! My ! My ! I was 1 yr. old, my daddy had just bought our 1st tv and this movie is the first thing i remember about looking at tv. It scared me so bad that he made us cut tv off, my siblings stayed mad at me for a very long time ‼️ This movie is very much a part of me ... even told my children about it as they grew up in their home. All married & have their own lives to live now.‼️ 👍🙋
Klaatu, Verada, COUGH COUGH.
Army of Darkness, another masterpiece
🤭🤣😂🤭🤣😂
Lady, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store.
I GOT IT I GOT IT
Definitely an N word
If you look closely at her throat as Helen Benson (Patricia Neal) approaches GORT, she's trying to speak the words needed,
but is overcome in fear; then backs up when thoroughly overcome, then is trapped and falls BUT finally is able to emit the words "Klaatu Berada Nicto".
A Sci-Fi classic AND the music(arguably) bar none - Bernard Hermann masterful and featured instrument -the theremin.
The Forbidden Planet would be in a tight race with this gem for the best '50s sci-fi classic.
Notice she never screams though, even when Gort picks her up. That amazed me as a kid. Truly one of the bravest heroines in cinema history.
Simply love her voice
This movie is the Holy Grail of science fiction films.
Agreed!
I remember seeing this movie in 1961 when I was 10yrs old and all my little friends and I were scared out of our socks. Ha ha The Theremin is such a creepy instrument. Later the Beach Boys used it for the song "Good Vibrations"
the new high tech movies do not compare.
An absolute masterpiece of understatement. More terrifying than a thousand flamboyant dizzying multiverse scenes or grisly dismemberments. Take note, Hollywood.
Notice that Gort initially doesn't vaporize anyone, just weapons, until Klaatu is killed. Then Gort figures if they're going to play hardball, now so will we.
That really underscores that Gort is not just a ruthless weapon of space fascists, as some critics of the movie have claimed. Gort's responses are proportional to the provocation. And Klaatu, as the aggressed-upon, could tell Gort not to retaliate. Klaatu's civilization put a lot of forethought into creating their robot policemen.
@@danieldickson8591Remember that Klatuu had been killed when Gort vaporized the soldiers . He calmed down when Patricia Neal said Klatuu 's dying words. If Klatuu hadn't been killed, Gort wouldn't have harmed anyone. He was just reacting to the aggression of the soldiers.
Excellent musical score!
The "Theremin" or Moog ??? gives a very creepy sound that's ideal for Sci-Fi films. It was way ahead of it's time being invented in 1920.
+A Skeptic The theremin in the score inspired Brian Wilson to write 'Good Vibrations'.
Bernard Herrmann was an Oscar winner for his musical contribution to "The Devil and Daniel Webster" in 1941, the same year he was nominated for "Citizen Kane." Big names used Herrmann right up to Martin Scorcese's "Taxi Driver" in '76, another Academy Award nominated effort.
Can't beat Bernard Herrmann.
A Skeptic agreed! Very underrated
Everyone thinks that Riply in Alien is the first bold woman in a science fiction movie. Nope. Helen is. As a girl I had never seen a woman walk right up to the "monster" - as she does.
This is a powerful movie. She is a single mom, a working woman and a hero.
She did it for her man, an alien. That's something for everybody today to chew on.
1950s movies REALLY need to get more recognition for how empowering their depictions of ladies often are. From Helen to Lisa Fremont (in Rear Window) to Barbara Stanwyck's various western characters, those movies changed the cinema forever, DECADES before Ripley or Leia appeared on screen.
What monster? That looks like a doll
@@thunderbird1921 There were quite a few of them--played by Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck, Jean Arthur--but mostly, as Betty Friedan says, BEFORE World War 2. After, most portrayals are of helpless females needing rescue throughout the 50s (look at the movie posters--even ones where it's totally irrelevant have screaming babes in the arms of monsters). This one is a big, fat, glorious exception. She doesn't even scream when the giant robot picks her up.
@@childwaters LOL the posters are VERY misleading in many cases. Even the poster for The Day The Earth Stood Still seems to show her screaming. Then you watch a lot of those movies, and they don't have it at all, the gals keep their cool or at least don't totally panic. "Clickbait" before it was a thing ("Theaterbait" maybe?). The westerns though is where 50s gals were strongest, in addition to Stanwyck's films I referred to, they had some VERY empowering portrayals like Gunslinger (1956) which features a female marshall and Strange Lady in Town, which features a female doctor revolutionizing an Old West community. One western crimefighting TV show, Stories of The Century, even featured female assistant detectives (Frankie, played Mary Castle and Jonesy, played by Kristine Miller) who kicked butt numerous times. It won an Emmy award. This is just some of them, these strong heroines deserve 10x more attention. One hilarious thing that happens in many cases is that men in the stories completely fall for them, or at very least start flirting.
I remember seeing the add for the movie as a 3 year old kid when the movie came out. The robot scared me to death.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST MOVING CLIPS IN THE WHOLE MOVIE A POWERFUL STATEMENT OF FEAR ...IT'S GREAT..THANKS
Such a masterpiece !
Yes!! But the All-Time Sci-Fi Masterpiece will forever be "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." Then one day some butthead decided to crap on it in 1978 remaking it in color. Jerk!!
Patricia Neal was so pretty.
Yes she was pretty in a worried sort of way.
One of the best sci-fi movies ever ever ever
No No No!! 1956's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," until some A-Hole decided to crap on a masterpiece, remaking it in color and with idiot screeching. Jerk!!
One of the most famous scenes in the film one of the most famous Lines in Science Fiction Movie History!🤖🛸
I am 1 of the lucky ones. Saw it in 1951. Great movie. Love it. K b n.
Filmed at the corner of Burbank Blvd and Sepulveda Bl in LA.
Back round trees are still there.
Had absolutely no idea that *this* is where “Klaatu Barbara Nikto” originated. After having seen Army of Darkness, I never knew this was from anything else.
My favorite "old school" sci-fi movie! ♥️ A classic.
Has anyone ever noticed that Patricia Neal looks and sounds a Lot like Kate Mulgrew? Are they related? The voice and speech patterns are eerily exact. Perhaps her grandmother or aunt?
I think just coincidence. Kate Mulgrew also bares some resemblance to the late Katharine Hepburn too (and even played her in a movie once).
@@mainstreetsaint36 hm... wonder if there's any truth in that Hollywood stars having the secret of eternal life and youth conspiracy... hm...
As a child I loved this movie but use to hide behind the living room couch during this screen. To this day it is still one of the best Science Fiction Movies ever made and a Great Retelling of the Christ Story.
Well, Klaatu DOES sacrifice himself. But to see Gort in the role of an avenging, all-powerful God is going a bit far. He's got the violent vengeful power but mercy?
OKAY, that's a new one on me! Considering that "Superman" is a retelling of the Moses story.
Scared the crap out of me so much when I was a child that I memorized those words in case I ever came face to face with Gort.
All I can say its a Masterpiece
I actually won a radio trivia contest once because I knew the lines!
That's awesome! :-)
I used them in a quiz, at a Star Trek convention.

The Day the Earth Stood Still Great Sequence
I've loved this film ever since I first saw it as a child. My father, who didn't even like sci-fi, quickly got caught up in it, and watched it with me. At 67, I must have seen it at least twenty times. I always wonder: has anyone ever explored the practical real-life application of that great retractable ramp, and the entrance that seals up so tightly that no one can find a crack?
No. We still don't have the technology to duplicate that effect in real life. Not likely to in our lifetimes. Of course it was just movie effects back then.
This being in black & white adds much tension and atmosphere to the entire thing.
It's odd that I had trouble memorizing Lincoln's Gettysburg Address for school but the entire report Klaatu transmitted to his home planet ("Imray Klaatu narrawak ..." ) has been stuck in my mind ever since I first saw the movie.
Yes as was said by many,remaking the old sci- fi's without the same fear factor.This movie, The Thing from An- other World with James Arness , Kenneth Tobey, Margaret Sheridan, Dewey Martin and The Invasion of the Body Snatchers w/ Kevin McArthy , Dana Wynter, and Carolyn Jones. The settings were much spookier in black & white without hi- def.
The use of shadows in black and white movies was just an incredible effect
Fun facts Klaatu, barada and nikto are all names and alien races in star wars
The late jazz legend DUKE ELLINGTON is quoted to have said "creative geniuses are careful to hide the true "source" of their inspiration" (read if you're going to steal, hide your sources!)
@@nealbradleigh5069 LMAO no, Star Wars utilizing these names aren't "stealing" anything, it's just a reference towards this as it pays homage to classic sci-fi.
That's how you honor great Sci-fi material...
Hermann wrote some his greatest music for this film. Creepy, and tragic.
The title theme was reused by 20th Century Fox for the titles of the original pilot episode of Lost In Space.
It's MISTER Bernard Herrmann to you and me.
Gort carries his new bride over the threshold...And they lived happily ever after....THE END
That is some creepy music...
It made the film! Bernard Herrmann was a genius!
And reused time and again in many Twentieth Century Fox sci-fi productions, particularly by Irwin Allen.
I swear that line 1:25 was used by ash in army of darkness. Well atleast he tried to 🤣🤣👍
yeah, it was one of the funniest scenes in the movie for sci - fi lovers that remembered this scene from WTEST. When the guy in Army of Darkness said the first two words and then tried to cough his way past the third word...it was definitely hilarious.
I love how there is no security or guards around the robot alien from outer space. Everyone is home sleeping.
There were two soldier security guards. When Gort started dissolving that cube the humans put around him to "contain" him, they heard the sound and approached him. Gort vaporized them both.
After the humans killed Klaatu, the kid gloves were off.
I liked the implication that Gort had previously stood still while they were pouring(?) that cube to encase him. How would you like to have been assigned to THAT job? On the other hand, with all his unlimited interstellar power, why did it take him more than an instant to free himself? The answer is simply that it was dramatically better for the movie, it was part of what made the scene play so well.
@@SDK-im8sl You are undoubtedly correct. But I like how all of Gort's weapon effects are quiet, precise, methodical. He has no need for haste, for flash or thunder. He applies only enough force to accomplish the task. That total calm is scarier to me than big fx.
@@SDK-im8sl He was in NO hurry. He had all the time in the solar system.
Klaatu Barada... Necktie... Nectar... Nickel... Noodle.
...She couldn't finish the phrase 'cause we suddenly heard Zap! Snap! Crackle! Pop! Got Milk?
It's a line from Army of Darkness. Ash has to use these same magic words, to stop an evil book, and he botches the spell, leading to hilarity.
klaatu barada ni(cough)er
Hail to the king, baby!
Ashley!!! I pronounce you gone!!!
I always thought it would be funny if the phrase was actually the order to toggle Gort's destruction mode instead of turning it off, and by saying it twice she just toggled it back on.
Hilarious !
Gort is very much more than a simple automaton. It can assess and adapt to different situations, it has independent decision making, and it has final discretion on whether to use force, and how much to use. I don't think Klaatu ordered Gort to do anything, I think he asked.
"Klaatu Barada Nikto" from this line Niktos from star wars got their name.
No one will ever forget this classic!)
This was a much better movie than the remake... I saw this as a kid but after seeing Forbidden Planet when it first came out in the theaters
Most Black & Whites should not be remade.
Although in the case of 1950s "The Things," it needed a remake. John Carpenter's 1978 Version brilliant!! As to Forbidden Planet. Really nothing. All the actors sucked and as a rule, I just hate Walter Pidgeon. Anne Francis was not a hottie until she hit her 40s; when most women get fox hot, By 55 fantastic!!
@@tedwilliams7887 I don't know.....Anne Francis seemed pretty darned hot in 1956 -- just look at those legs.... perfection itself.
It is a good thing she didn't start to shutter ! The perfect comedy scene. That line would also look good on a tombstone.
Classic sci fi at its very best. If you are some young person and haven’t seen it, make sure you do!
The re-make was simply not a classy as the original...Fine for young’uns who never saw this, but the original Gort held a sinister menace.
Gort.bud light.marlboro.patricia
Remake Gort was used as a plot device. Original Gort was used like a character.
"Klaatu Barada Nikto" translates as "Take me into your spaceship and give me a good rodgering"
That's obscene and outrageous. Can I find that scene in the directors cut ?
OwO
"Klatau - Birada - Nail Me"
@@MC-yy2bx Since Klaatu is the alien's name, he might be asking Gort to keep her there until after he's revived. So he can nail her.
I knew when I first watched this that I would remember those three words for the rest of my life
I saw this at the theater with my family when I was a kid and that scene still gives me chills to this day and I am 73.
"Well GEEZE girl. Why didn't you say so! I'm sure glad we had this little talk."
I read somewhere that Gort was played by a man who worked as an usher at Grauman's Chinese theatre, which was supposedly a tourist attraction destination someplace.
Yes, the actor LICKARD MARTIN, working at Grauman's was noticed by someone associated with the movie. The rest is history!
It was in Hollywood, although the Chinese designation is gone...
I felt sorry when Patricia suffered a stroke and had to learn to speak again...
Surely there must be a market for Gort style motorcycle helmets!
Yes, helmets with frickin' lasers!
Hard to sell the safety factor of an opaque visor.
What "Klaatu barada nikto" was to words, Steven Spielberg's five-note signature phrase in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" is to music.
This is the ten best sci fi movies of all time.
"Klaatu Barada N... nickel... necktie... it was definitely an n-word... (looks around nervously)... Klaatu Barada N[COUGH!]"
"
Klaatu Barada Ni-cough cough cough. What I said the words!"
Klaatau Birada Nickto is the code phrase I say to my wife when the kids are around and I want to let her know that we're getting it on tonight ! If she's in the mood she says: "Barringa !" If she's not she says: "Ancient Alien Therorists say: " No"
>>If she's in the mood she says: "Barringa !"
Patricia Neil , what a beautiful lady. I love that ' look' at Gort . . .
She knows It’s good to find a hard Gort
For a real look at her acting talent, check out "Hud" with Miss O'Neil in a supporting role with a young Paul Newman portraying one of the worst low-life's ever.
Sorry for inserting the "O'" in Miss Neil's name there; just force of habit.
Space-cop Gort. Klatu read everyone their rights. Don't mess with Gort. He (It) is the law. He's got no doubts about it either. Whoever makes those? I want one.
Way too much lady for Hugh Marlowe to handle. I remember him from the "Andy Griffith" episode, early in the series where he shows up looking to record rural musicians and everyone decides his character, Mr. Maxwell is a shyster, except Ellie Walker.
Thank you kindly, I remember 1951 like yesterday.
No wonder this was great folks. Anything Robert Wise directed was excellent.
Classic scene. I have trained my fox terrier to - faultlessly - stand down and return to quarters (her kennel) on the command “Polly barada nikto”. Great fun 😀
I taught one of my budgies to say this, too. In case the police ever shoot me and I can't report back to base.
Good thing they had the alien space ship guarded with sure massive security .. You don't have to worry about anything happening
Just prior to this scene, Gort vaporized 2 soldiers who were on guard duty.
@@GeneralGeorgeS.PattonJr.: Yeah, but two soldiers for a target of that value? And Gort had demonstrated tank-busting skills.
@@KutWrite They had sealed him in their block of miracle plastic. They considered him immobilized. After all, Gort hadn't budged since Klaatu was taken away. While the ship was impenetrable by any human method.
There is a story of how Robert Wise got very upset with Patricia Neal because she kept laughing when she had to say, "Klaatu Barada Nikto".
I will never forget this I love it. I was just trying to tell my daughter about the grade mickael Tells the humanoid. I never forgot and here I seen post I was looking for. Omg. I’m so excited to see this. Thank you so much for putting it on !!!!!!!!!
Not even wooden deck chairs can stop the indestructible Gort !!
I think all of us would react like her when seeing a 9-foot tall robot that can destroy worlds and is obviously going to start with killing her, and knowing you only have words to offer in defense that you hope will work. Talk about unnerving.
9 months later.....baby Gort was born!
"Klatau - Birada - Da-Da"
Timeless Classic
Great movie..Way ahead of it's time..Forget the remake.
"Gort Klaatu barada nikto"
Translation:"Gort! Klaatu's been toasted by the natives. Nick his corpse while it's still fresh!" It's implied that the human girl should not be melted.
Gort still scares the crap out of me.
Yes. I was the man inside of the "Gort" costume. I still use that costume to ride the New York City subways. You bet that I get a seat every time.
You get a seat every time but you can't sit down.
This and two other early Sci-Fi films remain my all time faves. Them, which took the giant ant tale seriously with out cheesy bugs on photos of buildings, and Forbidden Planet, with the Monster from the Id are just awesome. Good things come in threes!
Them was just as much a source of creepy sci-fi sounds as the theramin in this movie. When I was in college, one day a car came down the road making the SAME sound as the ants and I nearly jumped out of my skin. That's what it must have been . . . something that needed oiling in an engine or brakes.
"Forbidden Planet" is a somewhat cheesy adaptation of William Shakespeare's "The Tempest". Technically, we can credit Shakespeare with writing history's first science fiction story! It was his last work, and the first set in the then "New World". "Full fathom five thy father lies/Of his bones are corals made/Those are pearls that were his eyes...."
I Love You Little Lady Patricia Neal,this and your Scenes in HUD
With this movie, I ve always felt someone knew something we didn't, and were introducing a reality in a way we could understand. My suspicion of this has not changed, though I wonder if our constant noise hasn't dulled our brains to the point that what is being imparted slips through our senses without registering.
Artificial intelligence 2023.
Still the most boss movie scene of all time. Amen & Amen
As stated, this is on my shortlist of fav Sci-Fi, with "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" topping the list. Pure Masterpiece! Several others say the "Klaatu scene" is the greatest ever. Seeing most of these 50's Classic upon release, I would put that look on Kevin McCarthy's face when kissing Dana Wynter's and discovering she was one of the Snatchers is genuinely the best. In that scene, one can readily put themselves in such a situation. What a heartbreaker. Not for Kevin but for all of us young dudes from the Hood. Dana was a Fox Times Two!! I could see myself saying, "Hold up, I'm going to sleep too. Be right back. We haven't done the deed yet." At least, that was my thinking at seven years old.
Who wouldve thought the tin mans uncle was a bad guy.
That's the thing, he isn't a bad guy. He's just doing a necessary job.
That soundtrack - amazing.
A true classic … I love this movie ❤
The Tominator -Tom -FiredUpInPhilly🔥
1:30 lol that's what Ash was supposed to say before he picked up the book in Army of Darkness
Can anyone doubt that this was the greatest movie ever created!
There's another thing that I find strangely funny about this... If Gort used speech recognition from Earth, right after the immortal words are spoken, Gort would reply with, "Adding Klaatu Barada Nikto" to your shopping basket, or even "Unknown item in bagging area" and then promptly shut down.
