Robert Wise's classic science fiction epic is the standard to which all other sci-fi films are compared. "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is considered the forerunner of all the 1950s science fiction films that followed. Wise's masterpiece deals with man's paranoia and aggression towards things he doesn't understand. This particular copy of this scarce poster is absuolutely gorgeous! There were several pinholes at corners that were repaired during the professional linen-backing process. Awesome! (imaged before linen-backing)
