An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; 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 has masking tape on the back of the left and top borders that have slightly darkened the front of those blank borders. A tiny bit of the masking tape was folded over to the front in the bottom left corner, in the blank border. There is a piece of tape in the bottom center of the card, covering the card number, and entering the solid background area, and that piece of tape has yellowed. There is a tiny tear in the top right blank corner and surface paper loss in the top left corner, slightly affecting the image background. There are two vertical marks in the right end of the top border that look like they may be pencil marks. Other than the above, the card is in pretty nice condition. I would think most collectors would be happy to display this great card as it is, or certainly, one could choose to have restoration performed, and since the restoration is almost completely in the borders, the image area will need next to no restoration.
