Description

Tarantula (Universal International, 1955). Poster (40" X 60"). Science Fiction.
A memorable entry in the giant monster genre so popular in the 1950s, this exciting film stars Leo G. Carroll as a scientist doing research in gigantism. When one of his experimental spiders escapes and grows to enormous size, the entire surrounding population is threatened. Sharp-eyed viewers will recognize a very young Clint Eastwood in the climax of the movie, as the jet squadron leader who attacks the giant spider. Offered here is a wonderful poster for this fan-favorite film, brilliantly presented in dazzling day-glo colors. The poster had pinholes in the corners and in the image area, punch holes in the top corners, a minor corner chip in the bottom right, and small tears in the top and bottom borders. Professional restoration has expertly addressed all these issues, resulting in a poster that will be the pride of any collection. Rolled, Very Fine- on Linen
