An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 47 1/4" x 63" [120 x 160 cm]) (Learn More) H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, the classic 1960 George Pal science fiction (sci-fi) time-travel romantic adventure thriller ("You will Orbit into the fantastic future!"; "in futuristic Metrocolor"; "It smashes the time barrier... And You take the greatest adventure of your life!"; "Based on the novel by H.G. Wells") starring Rod Taylor (as H.G. Wells), Alan Young (as David Filby, and also his son James Filby), Yvette Mimieux (very young, in her second big screen role as Weena), Sebastian Cabot, Tom Helmore, Whit Bissell, and Paul Frees (as the voice of the Talking Rings). Note that anyone not familiar with the H.G. Wells novel might think that this movie adapted most of its ideas into the screenplay. But actually, the source novel is an incredibly bleak story about a dystopian future, with no romance of any kind. Screenwriter David Duncan, who had written a few 1950s B-science fiction screenplays before this, did a brilliant job completely changing H.G. Wells' ideas into an entirely different story! His screenplay was merely "inspired by" Wells' story, and he deserves far more credit for the success of this movie than he often receives! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Roger Soubie Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had darkened and had tiny paper loss at a few of the crossfolds. Overall, the poster was in good to 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. The poster was pretty well backed, but unfortunately, after it was backed, it acquired some scattered water staining on the back of the top left corner and on the back of the lower left border, which mostly affected the linen, but slightly stained the poster itself. It also has a circular water stain on the back of the bottom center, which did not affect the front. There are also small tears around the edges of the excess linen (one of which extends into the border of the poster), and the linen is separating from the rice paper backing. Obviously, it could be re-backed, but please bear in mind these defects before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
