The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox,
<B>The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox, 1951).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41"). One of the finest science fiction films of the 1950s, or any era, this memorable movie postulates the first contact between Earth and an extraterrestrial intelligence. Klaatu (Michael Rennie), an ambassador from an alien civilization, comes to Earth to warn the human race to give up their war-like ways or suffer the consequences. A moving and intelligent work, it's no wonder the film is so highly regarded. No wonder, too, that this one sheet is one of the most desirable in the entire field of science fiction poster collecting. This particular copy minor fold wear with crossfold separation, enlarged pinholes in the corners, and a dime-sized piece out of the top center. Professional restoration has addressed all of these issues, resulting in a poster that displays very nicely. Very Fine- on Linen.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Rolled Material (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
