Description

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). Near Mint+. Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
MGM's monumental effort to add "prestige" to the science fiction genre came in this picture about a rescue mission sent to Altair-4. It's a colony with only two survivors (a scientist and his daughter) and the rescuers are soon surprised to find them surviving very well, with the assistance of a robot and with all of the knowledge of an ancient alien race, the Krells. The scene cards show some of the film's best moments, including stars Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen and the greatest robot of the screen, Robby. These cards remain virtually untouched since the day they were printed, showing only the most minute traces of handling visible only under close examination. A rare opportunity to win what is quite likely the finest full set, on such an important title, in existence.
