The story from which was derived THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL
was "Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates. It first appeared
in the October 1940 issue of ASTOUNDING SCIENCE FICTION. So far
as I know, it's appeared in only three anthologies since then:
ADVENTURES IN TIME AND SPACE (edited by Raymond J. Healy and
J. Francis McComas)
THE ASTOUNDING-ANALOG READER, VOLUME ONE (edited by Harry
Harrison and Brian W. Aldiss)
THEY CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (edited by Jim Wynorski)
The last of those is a very interesting anthology. It reprints
sf stories that were used as bases for movies. In addition to
"Farewell to the Master", it includes "The Sentinel" by Arthur
C. Clarke (2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY); "Who Goes There?" by John W.
Campbell, Jr. (THE THING); "A Boy and His Dog" by Harlan Ellison;
"The Fly" by George Langelaan, et al.
By the way, in "Farewell to the Master", the robot's name is
Gnut, rather than Gort.
