An Original 1967 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Folded Spanish Movie Poster (measures 27 1/2" x 39" [70 x 99 cm]) (Learn More) Forbidden Planet, the classic 1956 Fred McLeod Wilcox science fiction (sci-fi) outer space robot monster thriller ("Amazing!"; "In Cinemascope and Color"; "Based on the story by Irving Block & Allen Adler"; very loosely adapted from William Shakespeare's "The Tempest"; about space men who journey to a distant planet, and they find that all the members of the original expedition have died, except for one man and his daughter, and they have discovered the secrets of a long lost civilization called "The Krell", which dwarfs anything humans have ever discovered, but there is a very dark side to those secrets that is soon revealed) starring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen, Warren Stevens, Jack Kelly, Richard Anderson, Earl Holliman (as the cook, who was put in the movie for comic relief), Robby the Robot (billed as "Introducing Robby the Robot"), James Drury, and Frankie Darro (who was inside the robot suit until he was fired early in the production for showing up inebriated and almost damaging the expensive prop). Note that after Robby the Robot appeared in this movie, he had another movie role in "The Invisible Boy", and then he appeared in a slightly modified version as the robot in TV's "Lost in Space". On November 21, 2017, the original "Robby the Robot" was auctioned, and it sold for $5.375 million! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Carlos Escobar Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned five examples of this Spanish poster, and the last one auctioned for $1,106. It certainly makes this poster far more rare than the U.S. one-sheet! Also note that the IMDB says this movie was first released in Spain in 1967, but this one-sheet (and the look-alike Spanish herald) have a litho number at the bottom that ends in "-66", which normally always corresponds to the year of the movie's first release in Spain, but we don't know which of these is correct. So the movie was first released in Spain either in 1966 or 1967. Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has an extra horizontal fold 3" below the regular middle fold with creasing along that fold. It has tiny paper loss at the middle crossfold. It has pinholes in the corners and a few tears in the left, top and right borders with darkening, many tears and small paper loss scattered in the bottom edge of the poster. It looks like there is more paper loss than there is in the left half of the bottom edge of the poster, but some of those areas are folded back, and we did not want to unfold them for photography, preferring to leave them untouched for the person who will linenback this poster. The tiny numbers in the left of the bottom blank border do have some small paper loss in them, but we can provide the buyer of this poster a high-quality scan of those numbers if they want the restorer to restore the numbers just as they were. After proper restoration the poster will display really well! Learn More about condition grades
