A 1965 Re-Release Theatrical Movie One-Sheet (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; contains a presskit, magazine article, and 7 stills; see below) (Learn More) H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, the classic 1953 Byron Haskin science fiction (sci-fi) Martian extraterrestrial alien invasion action thriller ("From the ends of the universe... they are reaching for YOU!"; produced by George Pal; loosely based on the classic novel by H.G. Wells; about seemingly unstoppable aliens invading the Earth) starring Gene Barry, Ann Robinson, Les Tremayne, Robert Cornthwaite, Lewis Martin, and Ann Codee NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this represents a wonderful find! Our consignor purchased the presskit from this 1965 re-release (which in itself is quite rare), and he made the wonderful discovery that someone had folded up a 1965 re-release one-sheet, and included it in the presskit! There is also a "campaign kit" and a part of an issue of "The Monster Times", which had an article on the movie, and seven stills, which have some great images, including one of the war ship. The covers of the presskit have the great war ship attacking art that was used in 1965, but was not used in 1953. We have taken a picture of the cover of the presskit, the one-sheet, the Monster Times article, the 13-page "campaign kit", and all seven of the stills. The 1965 re-release one-sheet is extremely rare and desirable! We have only auctioned it once before, and that was 20 years ago! Condition: very good. The one-sheet has three horizontal folds and two evenly spaced vertical folds, with a third vertical fold down the right 2" of the poster (it was folded this way so it could fit in the presskit). The left 2" were lightly folded at one time, and there are creases in that area, as was the bottom 2". There are pinholes around the edges and surface paper loss in each corner, where there was once a piece of tape, and there is paper loss in the top right blank corner, caused when the tape was removed. Otherwise, the poster is in nice condition, and after a simple linenbacking, it will look incredible! The folder has wear around the edges. The seven stills are in nice condition, as is the "campaign kit". Learn More about condition grades
