Robby the Robot and Anne Francis on TV
Gorgeous Anne Francis, who played the (literally) out-of-this-world Altaira in the 1956 sci-fi classic, FORBIDDEN PLANET, introduces TV's Perry Como to her "agent" -- none other than her mechanical co-star, Robby the Robot! (Don't know if legendary tough-guy half-pint Frankie Darro is wearing the tin pants inside Robby for this TV gig, or not!).

My mom watched Perry Como a lot. I'm remembering him as a prolific dancer . . True? I'd like to revisit some of his numbers . .
This was a delightful clip of both the late Perry Como and Anne Francis and is from 1956 or 57.
Early 1956, before the movie was released on April 1, 1956.
As a kid, after seeing Forbidden Planet on TV, I thought Anne was one of the most beautiful females I have ever seen in my life.
I kinda noticed her too. I first saw her in a 1960s TV show which followed whatever I was watching before it, which was the one I actually wanted to watch, and I can't remember what it was . . Her show was called Honey West, which I found boring but did see a bit of it. I saw Forbidden Planet for the 1st time much later and was floored by that gorgeous daughter of Morbius or Moebius . .
Anne was great. I don't remember Perry being so lame.
Perry Como sounds like he's trying to do an Ed Sullivan impersonation with that introduction.
Neat.
That was fun. Thank You. I'm glad moments like this are not lost.
I don't suppose anyone knows when this originally aired...
1956
Episode aired Feb 18, 1956
@@j.w.hunter8126 Ah, cool, thank you.

Anne was a pal of mine and I'm pretty sure she didn't have a copy of this rarity. Thanks so much for unearthing it!
Judging by the reaction of the audience--some of the were convinced that it was an actual robot!
Thank you for posting this. If my research is correct this would be the very first appearance of Robby The Robot, even before "Forbidden Planet."
It's funny that Anne took off her high heels so she wouldn't make Perry Como look like a dwarf. She was 5' 8" (173 cm) and he was only 5 '6" (168 cm).
she's tall and hott!😉
still taller than como
honey west is the best
They both look the same height !!!
finally ive been looking for this clip forever
