Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When Morbius demonstrates that his robot is incapable of harming intelligent life forms, at which character does he have the robot point the blaster?

Answer: Commander Adams

The robot is first ordered to blast a plant, which it does. Then Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) tells Robbie to kill Commander Adams (Leslie Nielsen). Robby is conflicted between a direct order and his inability to harm a human being. He starts to short circuit, but Morbius cancels the order before any damage is done to the robot.
2. What character actor played Chief Quinn, an engineer on the spaceship, C-57D?

Answer: Richard Anderson

Anderson had a brief movie career appearing in minor roles in several 1950s "B" movies and as a guest on many TV dramas and anthology programs. He is probably best known for portraying Oscar Goldman on the popular '70s action/adventure TV shows "The Six Million Dollar Man" and "The Bionic Woman".
3. After Commander Adams kisses Morbius' daughter, Altaira (Anne Francis), which of her animal "friends" tries to attack them?

Answer: a tiger

At the tiger approaches, Altaira thinks it is still friendly, but when it growls and leaps off a cliff on the attack, the gallant commander blasts it into oblivion. Altaira doesn't understand at first what had happened to change its behavior.
4. To please Commander Adams, what gems does Altaira have Robby the Robot make as an accessory for her new dress?

Answer: emeralds

Commander Adams reprimands Altaira for her choice of clothing designs with really high hemlines, feeling it is too skimpy to wear around his crew (remember this was the 1950s). She has Robbie design and manufacture more "modest" attire which includes emerald gemstones that the robot also manufactures.
5. Who directed this movie?

Answer: Fred Wilcox

Wilcox directed less than a dozen movies between 1938 and 1960. Along with "Forbidden Planet" he supervised the filming of "The Secret Garden" (1949), "Lassie Come Home" (1943) and his last movie, "I Passed for White" (1960). Wilcox passed away in 1964 at age 56.
6. What comestible does Robby the robot produce for the ship's cook?

Answer: whiskey

When the ship's cook (Earl Holliman) asks Robby where he can get some "good stuff", Robby is at first confused as to what the cook means. Robby is given a sample, which he quaffs down and analyzes. Later, he manages to make 60 gallons (480 pints) of whiskey for the cook.
7. Does Doctor Ostrow think all of the discoveries that Dr. Morbius found on Altair IV should be shared with the people on Earth?

Answer: no

Commander Adams is enthusiastic about all the marvels that Morbius shows to him and Doctor Ostrow. As Adams starts to rhapsodize about bringing the knowledge to Earth, Ostrow interrupts him and directs his attention elsewhere. This implies that Ostrow thinks they should move slowly in this matter since Earth may not be ready for such technical knowledge.
8. Does Dr. Morbius die in the movie?

Answer: yes

There are five casualties in this film. The first is Chief Quinn. Jerry Farmer and another crew member are killed when the mysterious force attacks the Bellerophon. Dr. Ostrow dies after trying to get a "brain boost" from one of Morbius' discoveries, and lastly Dr. Morbius succumbs to the malevolent power of the Krell.
9. Which character said, "No beer, no women, no pool parlors, nothing. Nothing to do but throw rocks at tin cans, and we gotta bring our own tin cans."?

Answer: Cookie

The ship's cook does not seem as impressed with Altiar IV as some of the officers are. With his supply of liquor running low, he may have felt restless and impatient to have the mission completed and get back to Earth.
10. When the crew of the C-57D leaves the planet, do they take Robby the robot with them?

Answer: yes

At the end when Adams and Altaira are looking back at the planet, the camera pans over to the ships control station. Robby is helping to navigate the ship.
