H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, the classic 1953 Byron Haskin science fiction (sci-fi) Martian extraterrestrial alien invasion action thriller ("From the ends of the universe... they are reaching for YOU!"; produced by George Pal; loosely based on the classic novel by H.G. Wells; about seemingly unstoppable aliens invading the Earth) starring Gene Barry, Ann Robinson, Les Tremayne, Robert Cornthwaite, Lewis Martin, and Ann Codee

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that almost all collectors agree that the 1965 re-release posters from this classic movie have a far superior image to that of the original 1953 posters! In addition, this poster is significantly more rare than the one-sheet from the first release (perhaps it only had a limited re-release in 1965). We have only auctioned two examples of this poster in all our years of auctioning (they sold for $4,596 and $4,504)!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny areas of paper loss at the crossfolds, with tiny areas of paper loss scattered down the vertical fold, and a lesser amount of wear on the horizontal folds. It had some tiny bits of paper loss to the right of the bottom of the vertical fold, in the bottom 5". It had paper loss in the top right blank corner and small paper loss in the right of the bottom blank border. It had some tiny bits of paper loss and tiny tears in the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
