Auction History Result 4p355 SCHOOL FOR SECRETS linen 1sh '52 1946 English spy film made into a flying saucer movie in '52! Date Sold 4/7/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41 1/2") (Learn More) School for Secrets (released in the U.S. in 1952 as "Secret Flight"), the 1946 Peter Ustinov English World War II (WWII) military scientist action thriller ("MORE STARTLING than the Flying Saucer!"; "The Secret Weapon that saved a Nation... Science Commandos!"; "From Top Secret Royal Air Force and Admiralty Files!"; about the group of British scientists racing to develop the first radar system) starring Ralph Richardson, Raymond Huntley, Sir Richard Attenborough (very young in this, his 5th movie!), Marjorie Rhodes, John Laurie, Ernest Jay, and David Tomlinson. Note that director Peter Ustinov had served in World War II from 1942 to 1946, and right after he was released, he directed this movie at age 25 (his first, he was sort of an English Orson Welles in that respect!). The movie was not released in the U.S. at that time, but this movie was released in the U.S. in 1952 (obviously, it was released in the U.S. because of the science fiction [sci-fi] craze), and they tried to sell this movie in that fashion, advertising it as "more startling than the Flying Saucer"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and three small vertical tears and a tiny area of paper loss in the left of the top foldline. There were some tiny areas of paper loss in the right edge of the right blank border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not at all distracting (and any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster).
