Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (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.
Condition: very good. The poster is linenbacked; prior to restoration the poster had tiny holes at the crossfolds and pinholes in the corners; there was a fine scuff line running from near the top left of the image across the image background and going through the top of the robot's mouth (it is truly not very noticeable or distracting); the poster was well backed; you can see evidence of the restoration from close up (although the fine scuff line mentioned above was left alone), but from any distance away you don't really see the restoration and the poster looks quite nice!
