An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #1 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: fair to good. There is a tiny scratch mark in Clarke's eye at middle left and a faint diagonal crease running from Clarke's hand up into the spaceship. There is a thin line of staining in the middle right of the image, extending down into the "N" of "MAN" in the title. There are some faint smudges, stains, and small tears around the edges (repaired with brown paper tape from the back). There is a piece of white paper tape in the lower left border, covering some stains and a large piece of brown paper tape on the back of the center of the card. Learn More about condition grades
