The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, the 1953 Eugene Lourie science fiction (sci-fi) monster horror thriller ("They couldn't believe their eyes! They couldn't escape the terror!

A Thrill Story Beyond All Imagining!"; "It's alive!"; "Cast of Thousands! Over a year in the making!"; "You'll see it tear a city apart!"; "A thrill-story beyond all imagining!"; "King of prehistoric sea giants... Raging up from the bottom of time!"; "It's alive!"; "Cast of thousands! Over a year in the making!"; "Suggested by the Sensational Saturday Evening Post Story by Ray Bradbury"; with special effects by Ray Harryhausen) starring Paul Hubschmid (billed as "Paul Christian"), Paula Raymond, Cecil Kellaway, Lee Van Cleef, Kenneth Tobey, Donald Woods, and Ross Elliot

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Paula Raymond AND Kenneth Tobey! Our consignor purchased it many years ago from a major poster dealer at a Hollywood collectibles show, and he does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we feel certain both autographs are authentic. Also note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this half-sheet, and only one in the last 14 years! Finally, note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good to very good. The poster was once lightly hand-folded down the center and folded across the center. There was separation in the left 8" of the horizontal fold, and someone put masking tape on the back of that area, and there is tiny surface paper loss on part of that tear. There is a 2" tear in the lower right blank border and a few creases and tiny tears in the rest of the borders. The poster absolutely can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or certainly, one could choose to have the above defects repaired (either with or without backing the poster). Either way, this great (and rare) poster will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall!
