Description

The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox, 1951). British Quad (30" X 40"). Based on Harry Bates' short story "Farewell to the Master" (in which Gort was the controlling force), this science fiction allegory attracted A-list director Robert Wise because of its anti-military stance. For the kids, however, it was all about Gort, laser beams, flying saucers, and "Klaatu barada nikto." This rare and fabulous British Quad is unlike any other paper on this title, and features an impressive image of the giant robot. Condition includes minor crossfold separations, three small corner pieces were missing, and fold wear, all of which has been addressed with excellent professional restoration. Join the space race and add this SF classic to your collection. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
