Our expert's notes

Italian 4-Fogli (53" x 76")
Very Fine on Linen; Artist Averardo Ciriello
MGM, R-1964

Italian artist Averardo Ciriello presents a beautiful image of Walter Pidgeon as Dr. Morbius as an apparition in space. This is a lovely and artful presentation of the groundbreaking science fiction film.

This spectacular poster had a few pinholes in the corners and sides of the white borders. There was also a chip in the upper horizontal fold, but these minor issues have been addressed with professional restoration during the linen-backing process.

Perhaps the pinnacle of '50s sci-fi cinema, Forbidden Planet relocates Shakespeare's The Tempest to a distant world. It features one of the big screen's most iconic robots, Robby, who's since made numerous cameos in TV shows and films, such as Lost in Space and Gremlins.

Estimate: $500 - 1,000
