Featured review
Angela As Ingrid Bergman
The Lost In Space writers clearly watched the 1956 Ingrid Bergman film, Anastasia, before sitting down to write this way-out, silly episode. Despite the outer-space setting, the plot remains the same: a beautiful girl is coached by an unscrupulous military man to impersonate a lost princess, culminating in an interview with her only surviving near-relative to establish her identity.
Angela Cartwright assumes the Ingrid Bergman role as the alternately willing and unwilling princess-to-be, with guest star Robert Foulk in the Yul Brynner part. Neither actor, of course, is up to the famous roles thrust on them, but they play it for the laughs in the absurd script. Unfortunately the genuine laughs are few and far between. Instead we get pratfalls and a general air of silliness, and more than a little overacting.
This is not the worst episode of Lost In Space, but it's right up there (down there?) with some of the other silly episodes. I wonder if Ingrid ever saw it?
