An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/2" x 30" [34 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) 1984, the 1956 Michael Anderson English futuristic science fiction (sci-fi) dystopian future melodrama ("Sex Outlawed... In the terrifying world of tomorrow!"; "The Anti-Sex League is Watching You... Even in the intimacy of your own home!"; "Will ecstasy be a crime... In the terrifying world of the future? Amazing wonders of tomorrow! Nothing like it ever filmed! From the startling George Orwell novel!"; "Most horrifying glimpse into the future ever filmed! From the shocking George Orwell novel!"; "From the Book by George Orwell") starring Edmond O'Brien (as Winston Smith), Michael Redgrave (as O'Connor), Jan Sterling (as Julia), David Kossoff (as Charrington), Mervyn Johns (as Jones), Donald Pleasence (as Parsons), John Vernon (uncredited, as Big Brother), and Anthony Jacobs (uncredited, as the voice on the telescreen). Note that in 1949, when this prophetic novel was first written, and in 1956, when this first movie adaptation was made, it seemed the height of fantasy that people would have devices in their home where the public could see and hear everything they did. In today's world, that has come to be true, and most surprisingly, it is the public that have brought those devices into their home, in the form of their phones and computers!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned one example of this poster before (once in 2004 and that poster was reconsigned to us in 2021) but that example was linenbacked and this second example has not been backed! Condition: good. The daybill has tiny brown dot stains scattered throughout (see our image). There is some crayon writing on back at lower center that is slightly visible from the front. This is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that much or most of the slight discoloration can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration the very rare poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
