Fantastic Voyage, the 1966 Richard Fleischer science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy adventure thriller ("A fantastic and spectacular voyage... Through the human body... Into the brain."; "A fantastic and spectacular voyage... through the living body...into the brain."; "Screenplay by Harry Kleiner"; "The nations new #1 pin-up, Raquel Welch, stars in 'Fantastic Voyage' coming soon from 20th Century Fox"; "Adaptation by David Duncan") starring Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Edmond O'Brien, Donald Pleasence, Arthur O'Connell, William Redfield, and Arthur Kennedy. Note that Raquel Welch had spent a few years in Hollywood prior to making this movie, usually appearing in small roles in TV shows or movies, or making a brief appearance on variety shows. But once she was cast in this movie, and the studio "sold" the movie using her naked body on a special poster, she became a major sex symbol and a "pin-up queen"! Also note that Isaac Asimov was asked to write the novelization from the script, and, declaring that the script was full of plot holes, received permission to write the book the way he wanted. The novel came out first because he wrote quickly, as well as delays in filming!

Artist: Dessina

Important Added Info: Note that all of the regular U.S. posters for this movie have a very disappointing image. We don't know for what purpose this special poster was created, but it would seem to be 100% certain that it was created during the movie's first release. The poster has a much better image that that of any of the regular U.S. posters! Note that the poster is entirely in English and it has no printer information at the bottom, but there is a "dessina" at the top right of the bottom yellow area. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

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).
