Description

The War of the Worlds (Paramount, 1953). Six Sheet (81" X 81"). Here is your opportunity to own a true rarity, an original six sheet for "War of the Worlds." First of all, far fewer of these were produced than one sheets due to their size not being needed by the smaller theatres. Then add in a very high attrition rate because many of them were 'pasted' up with glue and then another poster was put on top just a few days later. This is a terrific grade for the now iconic 3-fingered alien reaching for the humans. They are only minor pinholes and the slightest of fold separations. Very Fine+ on Linen.
