The fans are still talking about it... but the 'Invisible Man' was a piker compared to the astounding Luminous Man"; "Not a horror picture! But a revelation in thrills and terrific suspense"; a totally bizarre movie about a scientist who goes to Africa with an expedition and finds a meteorite that emits Radium X rays, which he touches, and he absorbs a near-fatal dose, which means that he then kills anyone he touches; another scientist discovers a somewhat cure, which requires he take daily injections of a powerful drug, which slowly turns him mad, and meanwhile, the second scientist starts taking credit for the discovery, which, in controlled doses, can heal blind people!) starring Boris Karloff ("as the luminous man"), Bela Lugosi, Frances Drake, Frank Lawton, Walter Kingsford, Beulah Bondi, Violet Kemble Cooper, Nydia Westman, and Etta McDaniel (Hattie McDaniel's sister!)

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this poster from the 1946 French re-release of this movie! First release poster material from this movie has always been incredibly scarce. We have never auctioned any French poster from either the first release or any other release of this movie, and the only U.S. items we have auctioned have been stills and the glass slide. You might wonder if this poster might not be from the 1936 release of this movie in France, because of its larger size, but we have researched this with French poster experts who tell us that they are convinced that this poster is from the 1946 re-release, so we are identifying it that way. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had a few tiny scuffs and just a few tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. It had tiny pinholes around the edges and a faint scuff in the lower right black area that extended upward to the last of Karloff's fingers. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
