NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Bob McCall Important Added Info: Note that when this classic movie was first release in 1968, it was in a very limited release in theaters that showed it in Cinerama. MGM made three different one-sheets for this Cinerama release. The style A Cinerama poster had the classic "space wheel" art. The style C Cinerama poster had the "centrifuge" art. The style B Cinerama poster had the art of men walking on the moon, and those posters were stamped "MOON MEN" on the back, but they were not stamped "style B" (which makes it an unmarked style B). When we auctioned these posters (which are many times more rare than the "non-Cinerama" one-sheets, which were used when the movie went into general release to theaters that did not have Cinerama equipment), we identify them as style A, style B, or style C. Note that this poster has a wonderful provenance! It comes to us directly from the man who was the theater manager of a theater that showed this movie in 1968, in Cinerama, and he has kept it ever since. He also consigned us a different first release Cinerama one-sheet as well, which is in a separate auction, and also a Cinerama 40x60 poster, which is in our auction that closes on December 3rd. All three posters are unfolded, and he tells us that he remembers the posters being rushed to the theater at the last minute, which might explain why all three were unfolded (they were likely sent in a tube). We have never auctioned an unfolded Cinerama style 2001 one-sheet before, and now we have both the "space wheel in space" style and the "astronaut in space wheel" style. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has faint creases and scuffs scattered throughout, with a few tiny tears in the borders (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
