An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) the 1962 double-bill release ("The Master Suspense Thrill Show!"; "Mature Horror Show"; "Selected for special showings at the Edinburgh Film Festival!") of Les Yeux Sans Visage (released in England in 1960 as "Eyes Without a Face" and in the U.S. in 1962 as "The Horror Chamber of Doctor Faustus"), the 1959 Georges Franju French/Italian medical doctor surgeon horror thriller (based on the book by Jean Redon) starring Pierre Brasseur, Alida Valli (often billed as "Valli"; best remembered as the female lead of The Third Man), Juliette Mayniel, Alexandre Rignault, Beatrice Altariba, Francois Guerin, and Edith Scob (as the girl who is "without a face")l AND Manster (also released as "The Split"), the 1959 (released in the U.S. in 1962) George P. Breakston & Kenneth G. Crane U.S./Japanese science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller ("Mature Horror Show!"; "A ghastly elegance that suggests Tennessee Williams!"; "See the two-headed killer creature!"; "The terror that split a man in two... half human, half monster!"; "Before your started eyes... man changes to monster! Once normal man actually splits in two ...half human, half inhuman, in the laboratory of the damned... in which women are brutalized by the monster-born-of-man!") starring Peter Dyneley, Jane Hylton, Satoshi Nakamura, Terri Zimmern, Norman van Hawley, Toyoko Takechi, Jerry Ito, and Tetsu Nakamura. Note that this is a very confusing movie! It seems likely that it was released in the U.S. initially solely as half of a double bill with "Eyes Without a Face", and it was titled "Manster" for that U.S. double bill release. But it appears that it also received an international release under the title "The Split". The double-bill is from United Artists/Lopert, and the international one-sheet is from United Artists only, so it would seem that United Artists had the sole international distribution rights. The only one-sheet we have seen that is not international (with "The Split" title) is a military one-sheet, which had the "Manster" title. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: good. this was a double-bill, but it was used by a theater only showing "Manster". So they took green paint and painted over the title "The Horror Chamber of Doctor Faustus" at lower left! I don't know how easy it would be to remove the paint, or if it is removable, but you can faintly see the writing under it, which is a good sign. There is also a censor stamp near the middle of image; staple holes, creases, smudges, and stains around the edges of the poster and to a much lesser extent throughout the image Learn More about condition grades
