Re: Whatzit?
I saw Sperry Rail Service #132 Rail Inspection Doodlebug here in Tucson. Your image is of #135 and yes I am sure.
When Union Pacific bought Southern Pacific... 132 disappeared. Union Pacific's EC-5 Geometry Car was in Tucson for a while and then left. UP has rail inspection trucks that run fast enough so as to not interrupt normal rail traffic, if it is going the same direction as the freights.
I found one of the UP trucks off the tracks (they raised the railroad wheels and drove it off.) I stopped to take a look and they opened the door to greet me. Were they ever relieved that I was not from the railroad and they were not in trouble for something. They invited me in and showed me all the test equipment. Very cool.

Yes, one of my favorite - if not THE favorite - sci-fi movie of mine as a boy.
Do you know where the creature came from?
The list of my favorites included (for me and all my friends):
+Forbidden Planet.
+The Day the Earth Stood Still. (circa 1951) (The adventuresome boy had a Lionel train set under his bed, used as an analogy by Klatu)
+This Island Earth.
+The Thing from Another World.(circa 1951) (adapted from the novel: "Who Goes There?")
+It Came from Outer Space.
How about for you guys?

I think it was Walter Pidgeon's Id.

Excellent answer. Right on the money. However....totally, picayune correct? Or was it created by the original inhabitants of the planet, destroying them, and his Id revived it? (I can see Morbius saying, in conference with his daughter and the Captain, "Id, Id, Id..." as the creature continued to blast its way thru the uniquely shaped doors, given power enough to do so by his Id. )
Us boys liked every character in the movie, except the Morbius' daughter. What a poser. We thought that even as 10yr olds, as she continually shoved her pelvis at every man nearby. We guessed she was pretty horny, and phony, she having been marooned on Forbidden Planet for so much of her life. Yet, she still nauseated us.

OK. I watched some of it on TV. I seem to recall Pidgeon's Id was concerned with his daughter. Wasn't the starship captain Leslie Nielson?

As a boy, I missed any suggestion Morbius was that tied-up with and into his daughter to that extent. Maybe I was too young for that idea. Now that you mention it, I'm not sure what he was so angry about. Not being able to solve the mystery of the vanishing Krell?
Regarding Leslie Nielson, I believe he was the captain.
Robbie-the-Robot made his (its?) debut in that movie, and we sure liked him a lot.
Re: Whatzit?
Robert Kinoshita designed Robby, and also The Robot from Lost in Space.
