NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Important Added Info: Note that this is the inside front cover from the March 26, 1953 issue of Kinematograph Weekly (we don't picture the cover, because the interest is in the great War of the Worlds trade ad). Also, note that we never before auctioned an example of this English trade ad, which has a wonderful full-color image of the war ships attacking, and by contrast, only the ultra expensive U.S. style B half-sheet has a similar image, and an image like this was used in the 1965 U.S. re-release, but this great English trade ad is from the 1953 first release, and the mega expensive 1953 British quad has this same image (as does the English herald)!

Condition: very good.
