An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (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. Condition: very good to fine. The lobby card is very lightly rippled around the edges, as though it were once lightly water stained. This really is only felt and not seen, as the card is not discolored in any way. I know that any talented restorer could "press" this card and completely remove the rippling, and this would not be restoration by my definition, since the card would solely have been flattened, and nothing would have been added to it or taken away (plus, no one could tell, anyway!). There is a pair of staple holes in each top corner of the image background directly above the beginning and end of the tagline. There is a 1/2" tear in the middle of the left blank border. Other than the above defects, the card is in really wonderful condition. If I owned this card, I would certainly leave it as it is, but I could understand someone wanting to perform the slight restoration required to make it look "perfect"!
