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: This Spanish poster measures 27 1/2" x 39" and is folded. Condition: very good. There is a 8" vertical tear to the right of the bottom of the vertical foldline (held together from the back with tape). The poster was folded in half an extra time. There are many creases throughout the poster, and they are most noticeable in the arms and legs of Ann Francis. There are a few tiny tears in the borders. There is a 1 1/2" tear in the left of the top border extending into the image background. I would think most collectors would want to linenback this poster (after which it should look great!), so please do not bid on it unless you can live with its defects or want to pay to have it restored.
