Rogue Cop (1954) deals with a subject, police corruption, that was very touchy in the 50s.

Robert Taylor stars and there’s a terrific supporting cast - George Raft, Janet Leigh and Anne Francis.

Robert Taylor shed his matinee idol image in the 50s and gave some great cynical world-weary noir performances.

A tough unsentimental hard-hitting film noir.

"Forbidden Planet" is a true classic of SF films, and Anne Francis as Altaira is my favorite. Her beauty and charisma really shine compared to jealous males trying to control her sexuality and the cookie-cutter/toy-soldier-like crew of the C-57D.
