Date Sold 9/10/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Photographic Transparency (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Forbidden Planet, the classic 1956 Fred McLeod Wilcox science fiction (sci-fi) outer space robot monster thriller ("Amazing!"; "In Cinemascope and Color"; "Based on the story by Irving Block & Allen Adler"; very loosely adapted from William Shakespeare's "The Tempest"; about space men who journey to a distant planet, and they find that all the members of the original expedition have died, except for one man and his daughter, and they have discovered the secrets of a long lost civilization called "The Krell", which dwarfs anything humans have ever discovered, but there is a very dark side to those secrets that is soon revealed) starring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen, Warren Stevens, Jack Kelly, Richard Anderson, Earl Holliman (as the cook, who was put in the movie for comic relief), Robby the Robot (billed as "Introducing Robby the Robot"), James Drury, and Frankie Darro (who was inside the robot suit until he was fired early in the production for showing up inebriated and almost damaging the expensive prop). Note that after Robby the Robot appeared in this movie, he had another movie role in "The Invisible Boy", and then he appeared in a slightly modified version as the robot in TV's "Lost in Space". On November 21, 2017, the original "Robby the Robot" was auctioned, and it sold for $5.375 million! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the 8x10 transparency in this auction (and 63 other 8x10 transparencies we are currently auctioning in separate auctions) is NOT one that was created by a studio and sent to to newspapers, magazines, TV stations, or reviewers, so that they could use them to create the highest quality ads. These 64 transparencies are of mostly classic movie posters, and they were surely created in the 1990s or later, surely by either an auction house that was auctioning these items, or by a collector who owned these items, and wanted the highest quality image made from that poster. They are NOT from when the movie was first made, but from MUCH later. Please bear this in mind before bidding on this transparency (and also bear in mind that there ARE over 300 transparency lots in this auction that ARE from when the movies were made, and were made by the studios). Each transparency is clearly marked as to which kind they are (and they are in separate sections in the auction, to make it less likely anyone could confuse them). Even though this is not a vintage transparency, and was photographed after the movie came out from a poster, it can still be used to make very high quality reproductions, but bear in mind that we are solely auctioning the physical transparencies and NOT the right to reproduce them, so unless they are public domain, the new owner must acquire the rights elsewhere before reproducing them. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
