Auction History Result 4r343 DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL linen French 1p R60s different art of Gort holding sexy girl! Date Sold 4/9/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (from 1966 to 1968) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures approximately 46" x 62") (Learn More) The Day the Earth Stood Still, the classic 1951 Robert Wise science fiction (sci-fi) alien-contact thriller ("From out of space.... a warning and an ultimatum!"; "Strange power from another planet menaces the Earth!"; from the story by Harry Bates; about a super intelligent alien visiting the Earth, and mankind mistrusts him without reason; he is able to "pass" as a human, and he visits the world's greatest scientist, and when he is injured and taken to a hospital, he is rescued by his robot Gort) starring Michael Rennie (as Klaatu), Patricia Neal, Hugh Marlowe, Sam Jaffe, Billy Gray, Frances Bavier, and Lock Martin (as Gort the Robot). Note that the unusual music heard in this movie was achieved through the use of the musical instrument called a theramin, and audiences loved the eerie sounds it made, and it became standard in many science fiction movies thereafter to use this instrument in the same way! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has a great different image of a "King Kong"-sized Gort holding Patricia Neal over the soldiers and the terrified crowd, with the White House in the background! I don't think I have seen this image on any other poster from any other country, although we sold a small French poster with this same image last year (we incorrectly identified that poster as being from the 1970s, but the great LAMP database tells us that the printer information on this poster absolutely identifies it as being from 1966 to 1968). One would think that the one-panel version of this poster would not be rare because it is from the 1960s, but I have never sold it (or seen it) before! Condition: very good to fine. The poster had tiny paper loss at just a few crossfolds and a very few creases, scuffs, and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
