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! Very Fine on Paper.
