Date Sold 11/5/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #6 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (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!

Important Added Info: Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. The card is very lightly rippled due to exposure to moisture, but it is much more "felt" than seen, and one could have this "restored", but since it is not distracting, I would think most collectors would leave it as is, but of course, that will be the choice of the new owner (the rippling is much more pronounced in our scan of the back than it appears in person, due to the scanning process, but it does clearly show you where the rippling is, but we assure you it does not appear that way in person!). There are some faint smudges and stains in the upper sky background, and there is a light 5" vertical crease in the upper left sky background. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! This is the sort of card that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the smudges and stains can be removed through chemical means, and the card could be pressed and flattened, after which the card will look fantastic (although I think most collectors could happily display this great card on their wall just as it is).
