An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Danish Movie Poster (measures approximately 24" x 33") (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!

Condition: good to very good. The poster had many horizontal creases running through the poster, mostly in the top third and bottom third. There were not many in the middle right of the poster and not many in the image of Gort, except in the top of his head and in his legs. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THESE CREASES IN THE IMAGE OCCURRED AFTER THE POSTER WAS LINENBACKED, AS SOME OF THEM ARE ALSO IN THE LINEN. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking (other than the many creases described above, the poster was in very good condition). If I owned this poster, I would immediately have it removed from the current backing and have it properly re-backed. I would think many of the creases described above would vanish during the linenbacking process, and any that did not, could be touched up. Learn More about condition grades
