An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded INCOMPLETE Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 10 1/2" x 14" [27 x 36 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been heavily trimmed and it now measures 10 1/2" x 14" [27 x 36 cm]. Condition: poor. The window card was heavily trimmed on the top and bottom, and it now measures 10 1/2" X 14", but it is incredibly fortunate that it is mostly only the blank top that it missing, along with the bottom 8" of the image, which cuts off the bottom of Robby's legs, the small credits, along with art of the planet's surface and an "AMAZING" box, so what is present displays surprisingly well just as it is (the card was folded down the middle, and there is darkening down the left edge and slightly along the bottom edge). So it certainly would be fun to display this just as it is, but please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above! Learn More about condition grades
