The Day The Earth Stood Still

Twentieth Century Fox, 1951,
British quad poster, linen-backed,
30in x 40in (76cm x 102cm)

Footnotes

The imposing robot Gort remains one of the most recognisable images of Science Fiction cinema, and is prominently depicted in this poster design, together with his alien counterpart Klaatu (played by Michael Rennie). The film's enduring legacy was recognised by its addition to the US National Film Registry in 1995, by the National Film Preservation Board. As a British quad poster, this poster was produced in much lower numbers than the US one-sheet.
