An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Man From Planet X, the 1951 Edgar Ulmer UFO space alien science fiction (sci-fi) horror melodrama ("The Weirdest Visitor the Earth has ever seen!"; "The deadliest enemy the world has ever known!"; "Written and produced by Aubrey Wisberg and Jack Pollexfen"; about a scientist who discovers a planet is approaching the Earth, and then a spaceship lands in a remote part of Scotland, and the daughter of the scientist tries to make contact with the alien onboard!) starring Robert Clarke, Margaret Field, Raymond Bond, William Schallert, Roy Engel, and Pat Goldin (billed as "and the Strange Man from Planet X"). Note that reading the plot summary above would make you think that this movie was a rip-off of The Day the Earth Stood Still, but actually, it came out BEFORE that, and also before most of the 1950s sci-fi greats. It was shot in six days on a budget of $43,000, a tiny fraction of the budgets for "The Thing From Another World" ($1.6 million) and "The Day The Earth Stood Still" ($1.2 million), and while it lacks in special effects, it still was a groundbreaking movie!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned two examples of this one-sheet in the last 7 years, and the last one sold for $6,750! In all, we have auctioned eight examples of this poster, which is a far lower number than that of just about all other 1950s horror/sci-fi titles, likely because this movie was much less widely distributed!
