An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Beast with One Million Eyes, the 1955 David Kramarsky horror thriller ("An unspeakable horror... Destroying... Terrifying!"; "Filmed for wide screen in Terror-scope"; "Screaming terror!") starring Paul Birch, Lorna Thayer, Dona Cole, Bruce Whitmore (in the title role as the Beast; billed as "and the Beast"), and Leonard Tarver. In case you were wondering, the "beast" did not actually have a million eyes (or even close)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Albert Kallis Important Added Info: Note that this poster is one of the most commonly censored 1950s posters! Apparently, the artwork image of sexy Lorna Thayer wearing a 3-piece nightie that showed much of her cleavage and midriff was just TOO much for most 1950s movie theaters, and many of them covered her body in some way, sometimes carefully painting a black garment over much of Thayer's body, thus not offending the 1956 people who saw this movie outside the theater! This particular poster was not censored in any way, which makes it even more desirable! Condition: good to very good. There is much water staining on the back of the top right corner of the poster (in the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded). It has caused the poster to be rippled in that area, and the staining is quite noticeable from the BACK of the poster, but it is not very noticeable at all from the front. There is clear tape on the back of most of the top and middle foldlines, but it does not affect the front. Other than the above, the poster is in pretty nice condition. The poster could be displayed and enjoyed just as it is, or it could be backed by a talented restorer, after which the poster will look fantastic, and there will be very little need for any paint restoration anywhere in the image.
