I've heard this bumf for years.  "The Tempest" *is* a great play.  "Forbidden
Planet" *is* a great movie.  But the connection is *very* loose.  I prefer to
enjoy them separately.  Can anyone imagine seeing "FP" on stage?  Please...

PS. I hope this doesn't start a rash of "explanations" of the parallels.  I've
heard them all before.
