An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Day of the Triffids, the classic 1962 Steve Sekely English science fiction (sci-fi) plant horror thriller ("Beware the Triffids... They grow... Know... Walk... Talk... Stalk... And Kill!"; "From the greatest science-fiction novel of all time!"; "Spine Chilling Terror"; "The Triffids are coming! The Triffids are growing! The Triffids are killing!"; "A brain-chilling tale of tomorrow happens in our world today!"; "The Triffids are coming to devour the human race!"; "From the greatest science-fiction novel of all time!"; "... suddenly the hideous crawling things are everywhere... and no one can escape!"; "From the nightmare novel that made the world shudder"; "From the Novel by John Wyndham, author of 'Village of the Damned'") starring Howard Keel, Nicole Maurey, Janette Scott, Kieron Moore, Mervyn Johns, and Janina Faye. Note that Janette Scott is best remembered for her starring role in this movie, which was immortalized in the lyrics of the song from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" that says "And I really got hot When I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills." She divorced her first husband and married Mel Torme in 1966, which pretty much ended her career, as she quickly had two children. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Joseph Smith Important Added Info: Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Fantastic '50s to '60s" (1950s to 1960s horror/sci-fi). Condition: good. There is light rippling and slight discoloration throughout the poster from exposure to moisture. There are some pinholes around the edges.
