Lobby Card signed: "Best Wishes/from/Robert Clarke". Color, 14x11. Lobby card for Beyond
the Time Barrier (1959). Robert Clarke (1920-2005) became an RKO contract player in the
mid-1940s, making his debut in The Falcon in Hollywood (1944). By the 1950s, he was a
"B" movie star. (His autobiography is titled To 'B' or Not to 'B'.) While some of his roles
were conventional action films, including the title role in Tales of Robin Hood (1952), his
true calling turned out to be monster films and other SF movies: The Man from Planet X
(1950), Captive Women (1952), The Astounding She Monster (1958). In 1959, the same
year he starred in the film shown here, Clarke produced, directed and starred (as the
monster) in The Hideous Sun Demon, now a cult favorite. (It has been re-released with
new dialogue under the title, What's Up, Hideous Sun Demon?) Although he continued to
play more conventional roles on TV, including multiple episodes of Dragnet, Clarke found
new fans as the old SF "classics" were discovered by a new generation. He was a guest speaker
and honored guests at fan gatherings in his later years. Minor surface creases. Left upper
and lower corners slightly creased. Otherwise fine condition.
