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!).

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.
That was fun. Thank You. I'm glad moments like this are not lost.
Best robot ever
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!
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."
This was a delightful clip of both the late Perry Como and Anne Francis and is from 1956 or 57.
One of my first loves - ( Anne , not the robot ) I was 6 .
Judging by the reaction of the audience--some of the were convinced that it was an actual robot!
finally ive been looking for this clip forever
I've never seen, or even heard of, this. A big thanks, even if it is a tad late!
Perry Como sounds like he's trying to do an Ed Sullivan impersonation with that introduction.
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).
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 . .
Neat.
I don't suppose anyone knows when this originally aired...
And I thought Perry Como had a personality...
Anne was great. I don't remember Perry being so lame.
