s004 TOBOR THE GREAT insert movie poster '54 funky robot sci-fi!

Date Sold 5/13/2008
Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price.


An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (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!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: 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: good. There is a triangular area of water staining that has caused surface corrosion and a light brown staining in the middle of the right of the poster (it extends into one of the girl's feet). There were three 1" tears in the center of the bottom border that were repaired with a piece of paper tape from the back. There are a few small tears in the left border. Other than the above, the poster is in pretty good condition, and certainly, a talented restorer could paperback it, and after proper restoration, the poster will look great, and there will be little paint restoration needed, except in the stained area in the middle of the far right of the poster.
