Auction History Result 6r192 TOBOR THE GREAT British quad '54 artwork of man-made funky robot w/ human emotions, rare! Date Sold 3/18/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 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 our consignor tells us that this is one of only three of these posters known to exist! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. There is marker writing on the back of the upper right quarter of the poster that bleeds through to the front. There is tattering and some paper loss at the crossfolds and around the edges of the poster. There are tape stains in the middle of the top edge of the poster. There is a 1 1/2" v-shaped tear in the background at lower left. There are pin holes and some smudges and minor creases scattered throughout the poster. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition and I imagine most collectors would be quite happy to own it just as it is, but if one chose to have it restored it would look incredible!
