Michael Rennie was the one and only Klaatu
And Gort the giant silver robot
Was his inter-galactic
Law enforcer
His trusty number 2
The original "Earth Stood Still"
Was directed by the awesomely talented director
The late Robert Wise
Who never, nearly ever
Made this kind of acid refux rehashing
This sort of:
"The Space Turkey From Computer Generated Skies"
Just some brief examples of Wise's body of brilliant work:
"Curse of the Cat People"
"The Day the Earth Stood Still"
"Westside Story"
"The Haunting"
"The Sand Pebbles"
"The Andromeda Strain"
"The Hindenburg"
"Star Trek the Motion Picture"
