An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Tobor the Great, the 1954 Lee Sholem science fiction (sci-fi) robot fantasy thriller ("Man-made monster with Every human emotion"; about a boy who befriends his grandfather's robot and spies are trying to capture it) starring Charles Drake, Karin Booth, Billy Chapin, Taylor Holmes, Steven Geray, Henry Kulky, J. Lewis Smith (in the title role as Tobor), Peter Brocco, Hal Baylor, and Norman Field. Note that many posters show the robot carrying a sexy woman, but that apparently never happens in the movie (he is only seen carrying the boy). In case anyone doubts Hollywood being endlessly creative, note that Tobor's name is "Robot" backwards! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have been told by longtime collectors of British quads that this poster is incredibly rare, and we don't doubt that at all, because we have never seen it or auctioned it before, and we can find no record of it having been auctioned by others, although we found an image on the Internet, and under it says that this poster was produced solely for Irish movie houses, because the image from the one-sheet (with the robot holding the girl) was deemed too sexy for Irish audiences! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a time, but it either can be sent rolled in a tube or it can be re-folded and sent that way. Condition: good to very good. The poster has tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some tiny tears and tiny paper loss in the left of the top two horizontal folds. It has some creases and scuffs in the rest of the top two folds and minor wear on the other folds. It has some brown dot stains scattered around the edges, with some tiny paper loss in the upper left border. Learn More about condition grades
