Beginning of the End, the 1957 Bert I. Gordon giant grasshopper insect science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy thriller ("New Thrills! New Shocks! New Terror!"; "Filmed In New HorrorScope!"; "'We may have to use the "A" bomb to destroy the giants!'") starring Peter Graves, Peggie Castle, Morris Ankrum, Thomas B. Henry, Than Wyenn, James Seay, Patricia Dean (not credited, but she is pictured prominently on many of the posters for this movie!), and Frank Wilcox

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 example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970!

Condition: fair to good. The poster has an unfortunate jagged tear with small paper loss in the lower left of the image, running through the girl's neck, shoulder, and hand. Some of the paper is "scrunched up", so there is not very much paper loss. Other than this significant defect, the poster is in pretty nice condition!
