An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. The poster had small paper loss at each crossfold and someone put a 1/2" x 2" piece of clear tape on the back of the middle and bottom folds. The paper loss at the top fold was very small (it did not enter Robby's head at all), and there was a tiny hole 1" to the right of the crossfold on the top foldline. The hole in the middle crossfold was also very small and there was a slightly larger area of paper loss 1/2" to the left of it in Robby's waist (in the solid purple area). The hole at the bottom crossfold was larger than that at the other two folds. It was an oval shape around 1/2" high and 1" long at its widest points. The tape on the back of the bottom two crossfolds had not bled through. There were pinholes and small paper loss in the blank corners. There were a very few creases and small tears in the borders. There was some very fine surface paper loss on some of the foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was quite nicely backed. There was expert paint restoration solely in the minor defects described above. The poster really looks great! Learn More about condition grades
