Auction History Result b013 MAN BEAST linen one-sheet movie poster '56 horror, Yeti monsters! Date Sold 11/1/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Man Beast, the 1956 Jerry Warren science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller ("Hair-raising excitement in the icy lair of the man-like creatures roaming the roof of the world!"; "Bestial Monster Madness!"; "See: Death-drop of 21,000 feet by panicked climber! See: Most daring mountain climbing ever filmed! See: Women stalked and captured for breeding by Yeti monsters"; "Sub-human creatures-survivors of the ice age... Titans of the terror that live today!"; "Thrills and chills scream from the screen as sub-human monsters go on a rampaging blood-binge!"; "You read about them in Time, True, Argosy, Newsweek, Pageant, Popular Science Magazines") starring Rock Madison, Virigina Maynor, Tom Maruzzi, Lloyd Nelson, George Wells Lewis, George Skaff, Jack Haffner, and Wong Sing. Note that "Rock Madison" was a name coined by director Warren to sound like a cool movie star name (it was a combination of Rock Hudson and Guy Madison). He intended to re-name star Tom Maruzzi as "Rock Madison", but apparently Maruzzi wanted to be billed under his own name (you can't blame him!) and Warren ended up top billing Rock Madison and Maruzzi got third billing. Since the movie has a yeti in it, one could imagine that the person who played the yeti was "Rock Madison", but actually, many actors took turns wearing the yeti suit, so this is an odd case of a movie having a top-billed actor who did not exist and was not in the movie! 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. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. There were creases, tiny tears, and separation on most foldlines. There was a piece of tape on the back of the middle crossfold that bled through to the front at the top of the "M" in the title. There were creases, smudges, and small tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer did not touch up the tiny tape stain at the center of the poster (any talented restorer could easily touch that up without re-backing the poster).
