A REPRODUCTION Benton Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Man From Planet X, the 1951 Edgar Ulmer UFO space alien science fiction (sci-fi) horror melodrama ("The Weirdest Visitor the Earth has ever seen!"; "The deadliest enemy the world has ever known!"; "Written and produced by Aubrey Wisberg and Jack Pollexfen"; about a scientist who discovers a planet is approaching the Earth, and then a spaceship lands in a remote part of Scotland, and the daughter of the scientist tries to make contact with the alien onboard!) starring Robert Clarke, Margaret Field, Raymond Bond, William Schallert, Roy Engel, and Pat Goldin (billed as "and the Strange Man from Planet X"). Note that reading the plot summary above would make you think that this movie was a rip-off of The Day the Earth Stood Still, but actually, it came out BEFORE that, and also before most of the 1950s sci-fi greats. It was shot in six days on a budget of $43,000, a tiny fraction of the budgets for "The Thing From Another World" ($1.6 million) and "The Day The Earth Stood Still" ($1.2 million), and while it lacks in special effects, it still was a groundbreaking movie!

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!).
