Auction History Result 2z141 INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS style B int'l 1sh '78 completely different artwork! Date Sold 12/8/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded International Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the classic 1978 Philip Kaufman science fiction (sci-fi) thriller ("From deep space..."; "The seed is planted... terror grows."; "Watch out! They get you while you're sleeping!"; "Sleep... Sleep... And be born again into a world without fear and hate!"; "Based on the novel 'The Body Snatchers' by Jack Finney"; about aliens invading Earth by replacing people with alien counterparts!) starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, Jeff Goldblum, Veronica Cartwright, Art Hindle, Don Siegel, Robert Duvall, and Kevin McCarthy. Note that this is one of the few cases where a re-make of a movie is superior to the original (in this case greatly helped by a budget that was around three and a half times higher than that of the original 1956 movie of the same name). 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 is one of the three very rare international one-sheets for this excellent horror movie. Strangely, three different international one-sheets were made for this movie, and they all show excellent images of the "pod people". One wonders why these images were not used for either the regular or advance U.S. one-sheets. Perhaps they were considered too shocking? 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" (1970s and later horror/sci-fi). Condition: good. There is rippling and slight discoloration in several areas of the poster due to exposure to moisture (mostly along the vertical foldline). Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
