Date Sold 10/31/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 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 we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. The card had a tack hole in each corner and in the center of each border. It has a few minor creases and faint stains around the edges, with a few faint stains on the back of the card that don't show through to the front. It has foreign language writing on the back of the center of the card, but it does not show through to the front. Someone performed amateur restoration to the front of each tack hole but did not back the card, and they performed no other restoration. The card was apparently attached to a mat with a very thin strip of clear tape on the back of the center of the top border. I would think that many collectors would be happy to display this great card as it is, or certainly, restoration could be performed, either with or without backing the card, and either way, the new owner will have one of the best 1950s lobby cards there is to display on their wall!
