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".

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This card is a REPRODUCTION of one made by the Benton Card Company which is a different company than the one that printed most of the window cards in the 1950s and 1960s. The Benton Card Company made mostly two-color window cards that used blown up newspaper ads. Some time in the 1990s, the owners of the Benton Card Company made reproductions of some classic titles, and they put a number in the bottom border with a capital "R" after it, which indicates that it is a REPRODUCTION (and this card is one of those reproductions!).
