Description

The Man from Planet X (United Artists, 1951). Door Panels (5) (20" X 60").
Black Cat director Edgar G. Ulmer guided this low-budget yet thrilling tale about an alien spaceship crash-landing on the Scotland moors. Its passengers then use mind-control on the locals while trying to make repairs. This British science fiction picture has become a cult favorite from the genre. It stars Robert Clarke, Margaret Field, and William Schallert. Offered here are the exceptionally rare door panels, missing only panel #4 from the complete six panel set. Two of the panels are unrestored and rolled. Though they have some border chipping and slight wear, they would display very well. Three of the panels have been linen backed and now appear near mint having had very minimal restoration. We have only ever offered one of these panels in the past and believe them to be some of the rarest items from the science fiction movie poster field. From the Collection of Wade Williams. Fine+ on Linen.
