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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. The card was "starch backed", which means that it was moistened with a special starch solution, attached to a backing, allowed to dry, and then the card had touch up while it was backed, and afterward, the backing was removed. This particular card had pinholes in the blank corners and one in the top left corner of the blue background. It had tiny pinholes near the center of the top border, and one in the brown background below the second "N" of "WARNING". It had three tiny pinholes scattered in the image and a tiny tear in the background to the left of the girl's head. It had two tiny tears and some tiny pinholes in the bottom blank border and some faint brown staining in the borders. The image area of the card was overall in nice condition. The card was starch backed by a talented professional and expert restoration was performed to the above defects. The card looks fantastic, and it has had minor touch up (primarily to the borders), and best of all, it still completely looks and feels like an unrestored lobby card!
