A Circa 2000s REPRODUCTION Movie Lobby Card #9 (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!

Also note that around 1990 or so, a fan created a series of "Fantasy #9" lobby cards, which were reproduction cards from great 1950s sci-fi movies showing a large image of the title monster (they made these cards by combining an existing lobby card with a great 8x10 color still; see below for more about this). Some time in the 2000s, someone else made some other homemade Fantasy #9 lobby cards on a color printer on a fairly heavy paper stock, and this is one of those! Why the demand for these? Most sets from 1950s sci-fi monster movies did not include a great card, and some did not have any cards showing the monster! Condition: fine. The REPRODUCTION is in really excellent condition!
