Auction History Result 6j0001 TOBOR THE GREAT linen Italian 1p R1962 different Longi art of funky robot with human emotions! Date Sold 11/10/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1962 Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm]) (Learn More) Tobor the Great, the 1954 Lee Sholem science fiction (sci-fi) robot fantasy thriller ("Man-made monster with Every human emotion"; about a boy who befriends his grandfather's robot and spies are trying to capture it) starring Charles Drake, Karin Booth, Billy Chapin, Taylor Holmes, Steven Geray, Henry Kulky, J. Lewis Smith (in the title role as Tobor), Peter Brocco, Hal Baylor, and Norman Field. Note that many posters show the robot carrying a sexy woman, but that apparently never happens in the movie (he is only seen carrying the boy). In case anyone doubts Hollywood being endlessly creative, note that Tobor's name is "Robot" backwards! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Carlantonio Longi Important Added Info: Note that at one time we thought that this poster was from the very first release of this movie in Italy in 1954. But then, we were consigned an Italian one-panel from this movie, which had a circular Republic Pictures logo in the lower right of the image, and THAT poster is from the 1954 first release, and since this poster does not have that logo, it is from the 1962 re-release (remember that the posters from 1954 are incredibly rare). The only difference between the two posters is that logo, and since the logo is duotone and large, some people might prefer to display this poster to that poster. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds. It also had pinholes and darkening in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
