Original Vintage Theatrical Lobby Card #5 (measures 11" x 14") (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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this card has a great image of Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, and Gort the Robot! Condition: very good. There is a 1 1/2" tear in the right of the top border extending into the image background. There are two 1/4" tears in the lower right blank border. There are two faint diagonal creases in the upper right corner going across the red area. There are a few minor creases and smudges in the borders. There is a pair of staple holes in each corner of the image background. There is a diagonal foldline 2" to 4" from the right edge of the card that I didn't notice until I looked at the back of the card. Upon very close inspection, it is barely noticeable from the front. It sounds like this card is not that great, but actually other than the tear at top and minor creases there is little wrong with this wonderful card. I would think almost every collector would be quite happy with this card as is, or a good restorer could repair and restore its minor defects, and it would look wonderful.
