An Original Vintage English Movie Trade Ad (measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) Flight to Mars, the 1951 Lesley Selander science fiction (sci-fi) outer space thriller ("The Most Fantastic Expedition Ever Conceived by Man!"; "Fifty years into the future!"; "What will they find?"; "Has science solved the mightiest mystery of the universe?"; "You'll want to turn back.... but you can't!") starring Marguerite Chapman, Cameron Mitchell, Arthur Franz, John Litel, and Morris Ankrum. Note that the producers of the movie guessed that a real life flight to Mars would take place in 2001. Of course, this never happened, but now, thanks to Elon Musk, it may happen just a couple of decades past that date! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is 1 of 29 great two-page trade ads taken out of Kinematograph Weekly English trade magazines. Studios would run these elaborate 2-page ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This 2-page trade ad was removed from a 1951 issue of this magazine, and it will look incredible displayed on the new owner's wall. The back of those two pages have text or ads for other movies from that time, and we have not pictured those back pages, because, of course, the primary interest to bidders is the great two-page color ad, which measures 11" x 17". Earlier in 2018, we auctioned 18 similar 2-page English trade ads, and all but a handful auctioned for $20 each or more, and two sold for over $100 each! Condition: very good. The trade ad was removed from a magazine, and there is slight paper loss and wear where the staples were, but it is otherwise in pretty nice condition (see our image).
