Description

The War of the Worlds (Paramount, R-1965). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This superb adaptation by George Pal of the H. G. Wells classic won the director an Academy Award for special effects, and is one of the greatest science fiction films of all time. When Martians land on earth, it is all out war and panic, with humans Gene Barry and Ann Robinson left defenseless. One of the few posters to feature the super-cool alien space ships, this incredible one sheet is from the 1965 re-release and is always a top item for serious collectors. This copy has been professionally restored to address small tears in the border and crossfolds. It had small staple holes in the left and right borders and corners. This 1965 reissue one sheet is actually more scarce than the original one sheet and considered by some to be far more evocative of the film. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
