One Sheet (27" x 41") ;
Fine+ on Linen
MGM, 1956

Robby the Robot carries the beautiful Anne Francis on the surface of the distant planet Altair IV on this stunning one sheet poster from MGM's classic sci-fi thriller. This example was professionally linen-backed with minimal restoration. The restoration involved touch-ups to the folds and crossfolds to address general wear, along with small areas of spot touch-up for minor creases. While the poster does exhibit pinholes, primarily in the borders, these were left untouched, and there is also light wear along the bottom edge. Overall, this example presents beautifully and features one of the most iconic images from 1950s sci-fi movie poster art.

One of the most popular sci-fi classics of all time, "Forbidden Planet" features outstanding performances by Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis and Leslie Nielsen. Based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest," this 1950s science-fiction gem is highly regarded for its outstanding special effects, groundbreaking electronic soundtrack and first-rate cast and production values. Perhaps most notably, the film introduced cinema enthusiasts to Robby the Robot, arguably the most famous automaton ever to appear on the silver screen.
