The Earth feels solid and still beneath your feet, but in fact it is moving very fast. Discover many of the properties of Earth and its place in the solar system.A full-length version of the short story upon which the world-famous film was based. With photos from the movie.This Robert Wise classic set a new standard for sci-fi films, and its outlandish score by Bernard Herrmann did likewise for film music. It features not one but two Theremins, three organs, two pianos, two harps, three timpani, four tubas, strings, guitar....this is madness, brilliant madness, re-recorded at Abbey Road especially for this release!The Day The Earth Stood Still depicts the arrival of an alien dignitary, Klaatu (Michael Rennie), who has come to earth with his deadly robot, Gort (L! ock Martin), to deliver the message that earthlings must stop warring among themselves--or else. After being shot at by military guards, Klaatu is brought to a Washington, D.C. hospital, where he begs a sympathetic but frank Major White (Robert Osterloh) to gather all the world's leaders so he can tell them more specifically what he has come to warn them about. Losing patience, Klaatu slips into the human world, adapting a false identity and living at a boarding house where he meets a smart woman with a conscience and her inquisitive son. Both mother and son soon find themselves embroiled in the complex mystery of Klaatu, his message and the government's witch hunt for the alien.A hallmark of the science fiction genre as well as a wry commentary on the political climate of the 1950s, The Day the Earth Stood Still is a sci-fi movie less concerned with special effects than with a social parable. A spacecraft lands in Washington, D.C., carrying a humanoid messenger from! another world (Michael Rennie) imparting a warning to the peo! ple of E arth to cease their violent behavior. But panic ensues as the messenger lands and is shot by a nervous soldier. His large robot companion destroys the Capitol as the messenger escapes the confines of the hospital. He moves in with a family as a boarder and blends into society to observe the full range of the human experience. Director Robert Wise (West Side Story) not only provides one of the most recognizable icons of the science fiction world in his depiction of the massive robot loyal to his master, but he avoids the obvious camp elements of the story to create a quiet and observant story highlighting both the good and the bad in human nature. --Robert Lane11" x 17" high quality reproduction poster by Pop Culture Graphics.
