George and George F. Slavin"; note that the screenplay for this movie was written by Lenny Bruce, who would go on to much fame for entirely different reasons!; his name is clearly credited on the posters, yet for some reason, people rarely note that he wrote the screenplay!) starring Charles Coburn, Spring Byington, Anne Francis, John Agar, George 'Foghorn' Winslow (as the boy in the spacesuit!), Stanley Clements, Emory Parnell, June Clayworth, Don Haggerty, and Beverly Garland NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this classic grade-B movie had, for unknown reasons, a duotone one-sheet. So the poster to get from this movie is either the insert or half-sheet, both of which have great full color images of the boy in the silly 1950s spacesuit! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and some creases along both folds. It had pinholes and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
