An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded (mounted on foamcore) Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is dry mounted on foamcore. It was dry mounted many years ago, and there is no sign that the dry mounting has hurt the poster in the slightest. Of course, the poster could be removed from the foamcore by a professional restorer. The poster had no restoration prior to being mounted. There are pinholes in the corners and there is tiny surface paper loss across the top foldline. There is tiny separation at the left end of the middle foldline and some extra creases along the middle and bottom foldlines. Otherwise, the poster was in really nice condition prior to being mounted. I would think every collector would love to have this great poster displayed on their wall! Condition: very good.
