A stunning and guaranteed original French "Grande" poster from 1967-1968 for "The Day The Earth Stood Still" (released in French as "Le Jour Du La Terre S'Arreta"), the classic Robert Wise Science Fiction thriller.
The film is based on a short story, "Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates, with the script further developing the original story.
Set in the midst of the tension, missiles and nuclear weapons of the Cold War, it stars English actor Michael Rennie as ‘Klaatu’ and Lock Martin as ‘Gort’, and, introduces a love interest in the form of Patricia Neal as young widow 'Helen Benson'.
With artwork that was unique to this French re-release of the film, this is a superb, high-impact poster that will look phenomenal framed and on a wall.
It has not yet been linen-backed (see FAQs), but this is a special poster. It would be a superb candidate for backing. It is in superb condition, especially given its age.
We love this poster so much, we have made it the subject of a "Film Behind The Poster" blog post.
We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.
