An Original Vintage Theatrical Swiss Lobby Card (LC; measures 9 1/4" x 11 3/4" [23 x 30 cm]) (Learn More) Stalker, the 1979 Andrej Tarkovsky Russian metaphysical science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy mystery thriller (about a hired guide called a Stalker who takes a writer and a scientist on a journey into a forbidden Zone where a meteorite had landed years earlier, and where a Room supposedly exists that can fulfill ones deepest desires) starring Aleksandr Kajdanovsky, Alisa Frejndlikh, Anatoli Solonitsyn, Nikolai Grinko, Natasha Abramova, and Faime Jurno. Note that the working title of the film was "The Wish Machine" and it was adapted from the science-fiction novel "The Roadside Picnic", and based on a script by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. This was Tarkovsky's final Soviet feature. Due to the type of Kodak film used, most of the original film was rendered useless during developing, as the lab was unfamiliar with how to process it and most of the film had to be shot a second time. It was filmed in and around abandoned chemical/electrical power plants that were likely the cause of allergic reactions from the crew, and death from bronchial cancer of the director, his wife and the lead actor Important Added Info: Note that this Swiss lobby card measures 9 1/4" x 11 3/4" [23 x 30 cm]. Also note that this Swiss lobby card was made by the distributor creating a set of identical stiff board printed backings with printed information about the movie, with a blank space for a still, and then they would attach a number of original U.S. stills to those boards, thus creating a set of Swiss lobby cards. Note that the board has metal grommets inserted into each corner, to make displaying of this Swiss lobby card far easier. Condition: good. There are some pinholes around the edges (they extend through the board). There is a snipe at lower right. There are a few scuffs and scratches scattered in various areas, including one to the right of Solonitsyn's left eye.
