Description

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). Insert (14" X 36").
Leslie Nielsen stars in this science fiction epic, featuring the debut of the one and only Robby the Robot. The mechanical fan favorite is the center of attention on this prized insert, showcasing one of the most iconic images of any poster to come from the 1950s. A loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Tempest, the film stands out as a true classic, and is one of the greatest of the genre. The poster shows pinholes in the corners, a top right corner bend and chip, and a horizontal razor cut at the top back that does not go through the entire surface. There is a small tear from the right border into the background, and the poster has four small bits of cellophane and paper tape on the verso. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.
