An Original 1962 (from the first release of this movie in Germany) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked German "A0" Movie Poster (33x47; measures 33" x 47" [84 x 119 cm]) (Learn More) Ercole al Centro della Terra (released in the U.S. in 1964 as "Hercules in the Haunted World"), the 1961 Mario Bava & Franco Prosperi Italian sword-and-sandal horror fantasy action adventure ("All New! An all new height in fright and might!"; "Superhuman strength versus supernatural evil!!"; "See! Creatures of Pluto - evil lord of the underworld!"; "See! Sunis - the giant from whose land no one returns!"; "See! The ten terrifying tasks of Hercules!") starring Reg Park (in the title role as Hercules/Ercole), Christopher Lee, Leonora Ruffo, George Ardisson, Marisa Belli, Franco Giacobini, Ida Galli, Mino Doro, Monica Neri, and Ely Draco. Note that this is one of the best regarded of the sword and sandal movies of the 1960s, and in 2015 in Los Angeles, they had a unique concept where they presented the movie on a big screen and had major opera singers (including Placido Domingo) sing the lines of the characters (and the show is still running!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Engel Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on small parts of the far right vertical fold and a few tiny tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster). Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
