An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Tobor the Great, the 1954 Lee Sholem science fiction (sci-fi) robot fantasy thriller ("Man-made monster with Every human emotion"; about a boy who befriends his grandfather's robot and spies are trying to capture it) starring Charles Drake, Karin Booth, Billy Chapin, Taylor Holmes, Steven Geray, Henry Kulky, J. Lewis Smith (in the title role as Tobor), Peter Brocco, Hal Baylor, and Norman Field. Note that many posters show the robot carrying a sexy woman, but that apparently never happens in the movie (he is only seen carrying the boy). In case anyone doubts Hollywood being endlessly creative, note that Tobor's name is "Robot" backwards! 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 has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that while this poster technically COULD be rolled in a tube, the backing is heavy enough that we strongly advise against it. Therefore, we will only send this poster in a very large flat package, unless the new owner insists on a tube, and accepts responsibility for any damage caused by it being rolled. The poster will arrive fine and display great if it is sent in a flat package, but it will cost more to send this way, especially if the poster is being sent outside the U.S., so please only bid on this poster when you take into mind the cost of shipping it in a very large flat package.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had pretty minor wear on the folds and in the borders, with some darkening in the outer edges of the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
