An Original 1967 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Folded Spanish Movie Poster (measures 27 1/2" x 39 1/4" [70 x 100 cm]) (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. Artist: Carlos Escobar Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned four examples of this Spanish poster, but only two in the last 20 years, and the last one was 9 years ago (which certianly makes this poster far more rare than the U.S. one-sheet)! Also note that the IMDB says this movie was first released in Spain in 1967, but this one-sheet (and the look-alike Spanish herald) have a litho number at the bottom that ends in "-66", which normally always corresponds to the year of the movie's first release in Spain, but we don't know which of these is correct. So the movie was first released in Spain either in 1966 or 1967. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases along the folds. It has darkening and some tiny paper loss in the left edge of the left blank border. Since the left border defects will not show if the poster is framed, it certainly can be displayed and enjoyed exactly as it is, or one might choose to have the poster linenbacked, but either way the new owner will have a rare and wonderful poster to display on their wall.
