An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Mexican Movie Lobby Card (measures 12 1/2" x 16 1/2") (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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this Mexican lobby card has been personally autographed (signed) by Billy Gray (it reads, "To Dennis, Bill Gray"). Note that Mr. Gray signed the card as "Bill". I imagine he stopped using "Billy" quite some time ago! This lobby card will be sent in an oversized flat package that measures approximately 15" x 20". Condition: very good. It is quite possible that the card originally had a blank white border at the top, but if so, it was trimmed off exceptionally straight and neatly, and my personal opinion is that there was no border (since Mexican lobby cards vary widely in size, there is no way of knowing for certain). There are tiny pinholes in the left and right corners and in the center of the bottom of the image. There are a few smudges and a very few creases in the borders. Other than the above, the card is in pretty good condition. IN THIS SPECIAL HALLOWEEN AUCTION, we have given a more detailed overall condition grade along with more details about the condition described in words. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, plus there are some defects (like separation on folds, tape on the back, extremely tiny pinholes, etc) which can be VERY difficult to see, even in our largest "super-sized" image. Therefore we strongly recommend that you BOTH read our written description of the item, AND ALSO look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe.
