Australian Daybill (13.5" x 30"); Hand Lithograph
Very Fine- Folded
20th Century Fox, 1952

Please note that this is the extremely rare Australian daybill from the original 1951 release of this movie, which PropStore has not offered before. There is a 1970s re-release that looks similar and has sometimes been mistakenly sold as the original. However, the poster offered here is the first release 1951 Australian daybill.

This poster from director Robert Wise's thoughtful sci-fi drama is folded and shows only minor edge wear, separation on the right half of the upper horizontal fold with a small tear next to it and occasional border stains. Unlike the film's US one sheet, which has a similar design, this Australian poster is a hand lithograph, featuring rich, bold colors and fine details.

Robert Wise's sci-fi classic, where humanity receives a wake-up call after the alien Klaatu (Michael Rennie) arrives on Earth with his all-powerful robot Gort and tells our species to clean up its act or face destruction.

Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
