An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 16" [30 x 41 cm]; 12 pages) (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!

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!
