Description

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Allied Artists, 1956). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
This chilling picture, in which innocent people are replaced by alien creatures grown from seed pods, is one of the best invasion films to come out of the Cold War era. Many see this film as a loosely veiled allegory for the fear of Communist infiltration that was of paramount concern to people nationwide in the 1950s. Offered here is the rare and desirable "spotlight dance" style half sheet; it had fold wear and a pinhole in the left border, but now looks like a million bucks after expert professional restoration. A key film from the period, this poster is one you'll want to add to your permanent collection. Very Fine on Paper.
