An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (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!

Important Added Info: 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. There are two extra horizontal folds 2" above and below the regular top and bottom folds. There are many creases on the two extra folds and some fine surface paper loss on the top and bottom regular folds, with 1" of separation at the right end of the bottom fold, and tiny separation on the left and right ends of the other regular folds. There are pinholes around the edges and two enlarged pinholes near the middle of the bottom inset images. There is a pair of staple holes at the top of the "I" of "STILL" in the title and in the background 6" to the right of that. There were three 1" to 1 1/2" in the left half of the top border and someone put tape on the back of that entire area. There is also a square of tape on the back of each corner and the middle of the left and right of the poster, and someone removed two of those squares. In spite of the above defects, the poster displays quite nice just as it is, but certainly it can be paperbacked and restored, if the new owner chooses to do so. Learn More about condition grades
