Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More)

Jules Verne's Mysterious Island, the 1961 Cy Endfield English/U.S. science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy adventure thriller ("A world beyond imagination!"; "Adventure beyond belief!"; "They plunged into a world of incredible dangers and mysterious forces!"; with "Visual Effects Created by Ray Harryhausen"; "In SuperDynamation"; "Based on the Jules Verne Novel"; about prisoners of war, captured by Confederates during the Civil War, that escape to an uncharted South Pacific island via hot-air balloon!) starring Michael Craig, Joan Greenwood, Michael Callan, Gary Merrill, Beth Rogan, and Herbert Lom ("as Captain Nemo"). Note that this movie is well regarded today, but the producers were having difficulty getting financing for it, because they did not think it would do well at the box office! But Disney had a big success with "Swiss Family Robinson" the year before, which was a very similar movie to this one, and that enabled the producers of this movie to get financing!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: very good. Note that this poster has never been folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded twice (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!

irregular horizontal creases running horizontal across the top of the poster approximately 4" from the top edge; 1 1/2" tear in the right edge as well as a few smaller tears around the edges of the poster (mostly in the upper right edge); minor creases and scuffs throughout the poster (more so along the foldlines)
