NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Bob McCall Important Added Info: Note that when this classic movie was first release in 1968, it was in a very limited release in theaters that showed it in Cinerama. MGM made three different one-sheets for this Cinerama release. The style A Cinerama poster (which is THIS poster) had the classic "space wheel" art. The style C Cinerama poster had the "centrifuge" art. The style B Cinerama poster had the art of men walking on the moon, and those posters were stamped "MOON MEN" on the back, but they were not stamped "style B" (which makes it an unmarked style B). When we auctioned these posters (which are many times more rare than the "non-Cinerama" one-sheets, which were used when the movie went into general release to theaters that did not have Cinerama equipment), we identify them as style A, style B, or style C.

Either before or after the poster was backed, it was displayed, and the yellow in the poster faded considerably. This most affected the title letters and the area of the space wheel that the ship is emerging from. The poster also had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period) and a few pinholes in the borders, and creases and small tears on parts of the vertical fold. The poster displays pretty well, but please do not bid on it unless you can accept its significant defects noted above. Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border, to allow it to more easily fit in a frame).
