Description
Cat People (RKO, 1942). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B. Val Lewton produced this amazing film on a very modest budget, and turned it into one of the most frightening films of the forties. Beautiful Simone Simon stars as a woman who turns into a panther when emotionally charged. "Cat People" was the first in a series of films that made Lewton an icon in the genre. The posters for this title are among the most sought after by horror enthusiasts. This style B half sheet is a very rare poster for this film. It is the only poster which uses the blood red background and this sexy image of Simon. The poster has a pin hole in the corners. There is minor foxing and a small edge chip. There are apparent tape stains on the left side upper and lower corner borders. The poster has been mounted on paper and professionally restored, giving it a near mint appearance. This very rare half sheet is gorgeous, so don't let this one get away as who knows when you will ever see it again!
