Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Forbidden Planet, the classic 1956 Fred McLeod Wilcox science fiction (sci-fi) outer space robot monster thriller ("Amazing!"; "In Cinemascope and Color"; "Based on the story by Irving Block & Allen Adler"; very loosely adapted from William Shakespeare's "The Tempest"; about space men who journey to a distant planet, and they find that all the members of the original expedition have died, except for one man and his daughter, and they have discovered the secrets of a long lost civilization called "The Krell", which dwarfs anything humans have ever discovered, but there is a very dark side to those secrets that is soon revealed) starring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen, Warren Stevens, Jack Kelly, Richard Anderson, Earl Holliman (as the cook, who was put in the movie for comic relief), Robby the Robot (billed as "Introducing Robby the Robot"), James Drury, and Frankie Darro (who was inside the robot suit until he was fired early in the production for showing up inebriated and almost damaging the expensive prop). 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. Condition: very good to fine. the card is in wonderful condition! there is a partial diagonal crease (more of a "bend") in the upper left of the image area going through the image of the two people at left and the image background, but it is truly not at all noticeable, and would surely completely vanish over time (I only noticed it because I looked at the back of the card); there are creases in the lower left and upper right corner and a few faint smudges and creases in the borders. The above is really nitpicking! I can't imagine a better example of this card. It looks as though it was never used, and it has a crisp feel and the colors are bright. It is completely unrestored, with no tape anywhere on it. Learn More about condition grades
