Auction History Result 1w185 FORBIDDEN PLANET 8x10 still 1956 Leslie Nielsen & Anne Francis in space jeep driven by Robby! Date Sold 11/2/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (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. Important Added Info: Note that the snipe on the back explains that Leslie Nielsen is explaining to Anne Francis just how Robby the Robot drives the space jeep and supplies the power, which is especially funny, since Nielsen is the stranger to the planet, and if anyone was doing explaining it would be Anne Francis, but obviously, the person who wrote the text did not know that! Also note that this still comes together with a 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" snipe that was originally glued to the back of the still, but over the years, the glue dried, and it is no longer attached, so it will be sent separately with this wonderful still. It is one of a group of recently discovered stills that all have similar snipes, and we are auctioning them in separate auctions. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in nice condition!
