An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Revenge of the Creature, the 1955 Jack Arnold Universal monster Florida horror science fiction (sci-fi) 3-D (3D; 3-Dimension) sequel ("Terror is loose in the city!"; "Weird Monster escapes! Terror seizes city!"; "All New Thrills! Shock! Suspense!"; "Monster Escapes!"; "City flees in Terror!"; "Here at last! New thrill wonder 3-D Horrorscope!") starring John Agar, Lori Nelson, John Bromfield, Nester Paiva, Ricou Browning (who played the Gill Man underwater), Tom Hennesy (who played the Gill Man on land), Clint Eastwood (in his big screen [speaking] debut in a bit part as a lab assistant), Brett Halsey, and Flippy the Porpoise. Note that this movie was released in 3-D, but most first release U.S. posters don't bother to mention that (perhaps because the 3-D craze was dying down). 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 the bottom section of this poster (the part with the title, credits, and a tiny bit of the bottom of the image) was missing, and the person who owned the rest of the poster hired a restorer to recreate the bottom one-third. It was recreated really well, and most collectors would likely not realize that it was recreated unless it was told to them! While one would obviously prefer to have the complete poster, it is good that almost all of the image was present, and that it was primarily just lettering that was missing (and as far as getting a complete poster goes, we have only auctioned this poster once in the last 20 years, and the last time was 11 years ago). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The bottom one-third of this poster was missing (see above). The portion of the poster that was present had creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss scattered down all three vertical folds of the top section, with paper loss at the crossfolds in that section. It had small tears and tiny bits of paper loss on the other folds. The person who backed the poster (obviously a very talented professional) recreated the bottom one-third exactly, on a separate section of paper (just as it would have been had it been original), and then backed the large section and the small section together, and performed restoration to the top section. You must certainly bear in mind that one-third of this poster is recreated (and that the top section had the above defects) before bidding, but certainly, this poster will still display really well on the new owner's wall!
