A 1948 Realart Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) The Invisible Ray, the 1936 Lambert Hillyer Universal science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller ("Beware the luminous man!"; "Delving into strange, new fields of mystery!"; "'The Invisible Man' was an eye opener. 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!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. The poster had many small horizontal creases throughout, and six evenly spaced vertical foldlines. There were stains and smudges in the letters of the title and some smudges and scuff marks throughout the poster. There were creases, tears, pinholes, and smudges around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. This poster was not linenbacked all that well! You can still see many of the horizontal creases in the poster, most notably some in the face of the girl at bottom center. If I owned this poster, I would either have it re-backed, or have a restorer try to do additional touch up to the above defects without re-backing the poster. In any event, please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects, or are willing to pay to have the poster re-restored! Learn More about condition grades
