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. Important Added Info: Note that the card has a lot of pinholes, smudges, and light stains around the edges, but they only enter the edges of the image. There are marks below the waist of the robot at right and there is a tiny stain in the object that Rennie is holding in his right hand. There are a few stains in the letters of the words "EARTH" and "STOOD" in the title. Certainly, any talented restorer could perform expert restoration to this card, and since most of the defects are in the borders, or are tiny, after proper restoration the card would look great, and there would be little paint anywhere on the card!
