An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) G.O.G. (also released as "GOG, The Killer"), the 1954 Herbert L. Strock science fiction (sci-fi) robot monster horror thriller ("Its brain - an electronic miracle! It's body - chilled, invincible steel! Its purpose - to serve men! Then - suddenly - it became a Frankenstein!"; "Frankenstein of Steel"; "...and then, without warning, the machine became a Frankenstein of steel!"; "Thrill to miracles of science beyond imagination"; "...sound that can kill! ...light that melts steel!"; "...cold that brings immortality!"; "...men and women lighter than air!"; "...an electronic miracle brain!"; "...robots that think!"; "...a station in space!"; "and the incredible moment when The Machines Destroy The Makers!"; "Built to serve man... it could think a thousand times faster! Move a thousand times faster! Kill a thousand times faster ...Then suddenly it became a Frankenstein of steel!"; "Based on a story by Ivan Tors") starring Richard Egan, Constance Dowling, Herbert Marshall, John Wengraf, and Philip Van Zandt. Note that this might have been one of the worst titles ever, because absolutely nobody knew what "GOG" meant, and it certainly didn't attract anybody to the theaters! They tried to make things better be re-titling it "GOG, the Killer", but that really didn't convey the idea of a robot gone wild (and they did this after the posters were printed, so they sent ugly snipes that were glued over the original title!). 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 included with this poster (but not photographed below) is a cool extra paper snipe that measures 14 1/2" x 29". It reads, "GOG the Killer" in gigantic letters and has a tiny "3 Sht." at the bottom, indicating it was intended for use with the three-sheet. It was likely intended to be glued over the original title area, but strangely, the snipe is printed on white paper, and the original title is over a black background, so the poster would look pretty ugly with the snipe on it! One wonders if the purpose of the snipe was to cover the tagline, "frankenstein of steel". Perhaps Universal Studios threatened the producers of this movie with a lawsuit for the use of the word "frankenstein"! This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: very good. There are extremely tiny tears and creases on several foldlines and tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. Other than the above minor defects, the poster is in quite nice condition!
