Description

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (Warner Brothers, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Ray Harryhausen's special effects are used to spectacular ends in this city-ravishing, atomic monster sci-fi classic. Bent on destruction, a prehistoric creature is roused by nuclear testing and arrives from the Arctic Circle to destroy New York, with Paul Christian, Paula Raymond, and Cecil Kellaway scrambling to find a method to stop it-- with assistance from sharpshooter Lee Van Cleef. An important film, it was the first of the genre of atomic monster pictures, paving the way for such classics as Godzilla. A highly collectible item, this beauty has been professionally restored to address pinholes in the corners and borders, a chip in the lower right corner, a tiny hole in the left side, and two smaller ones in the top left of the artwork. It now displays very well in all its destructive horror. Fine+ on Linen.
