An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Varan the Unbelievable, the 1962 Jerry A. Baerwitz & Ishiro Honda Japan/U.S. kaiju battling rubbery monsters science fiction (sci-fi) dinosaur horror thriller ("From a world below, it came to terrorize - to destroy - to revenge!"; "For centuries it slept far below the sea until modern man... Ever searching... Ever probing deeper into the unknown... Disturbed its peace... Then it rose... From the depths... Slowly... Surely... Unrelentingly... To wreak its vengeance... To kill... To destroy a civilization that wanted to know too much!") starring Myron Healy, Tsuruko Kobayashi, Clifford Kawada, Derick Shimatsu, Kozo Nomura, "and a cast of thousands". Note that this is a heavily-altered version of the 1958 Japanese film titled Daikaiju Baran. For this U.S. release, a new story was written by Sid Harris and Baerwitz directed new footage with Myron Healey interacting with Japanese-American actors. Only 15 minutes of the original Japanese footage was used in the U.S. version and we consider them separate movies.

Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had very minor fold wear and a few tiny pinholes in the borders. It had a stamp on the back of the bottom center that slightly bled through to the front in the white area. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
