Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (measures 8 1/4" x 13"; 14 pages) (Learn More) Fantastic Voyage, the 1966 Richard Fleischer science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy adventure thriller ("A fantastic and spectacular voyage... Through the human body... Into the brain."; "A fantastic and spectacular voyage... through the living body...into the brain."; "Screenplay by Harry Kleiner"; "The nations new #1 pin-up, Raquel Welch, stars in 'Fantastic Voyage' coming soon from 20th Century Fox"; "Adaptation by David Duncan") starring Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Edmond O'Brien, Donald Pleasence, Arthur O'Connell, William Redfield, and Arthur Kennedy. Note that Raquel Welch had spent a few years in Hollywood prior to making this movie, usually appearing in small roles in TV shows or movies, or making a brief appearance on variety shows. But once she was cast in this movie, and the studio "sold" the movie using her naked body on a special poster, she became a major sex symbol and a "pin-up queen"! Also note that Isaac Asimov was asked to write the novelization from the script, and, declaring that the script was full of plot holes, received permission to write the book the way he wanted. The novel came out first because he wrote quickly, as well as delays in filming! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is part of an amazing collection of 456 different horror/sci-fi pressbooks (our items #5387 through #5842)! The collector who assembled this collection did so over a span of several decades, and to duplicate it would surely take at least that long, if one started today. But on October 30th, every one of these pressbooks will go to a new owner, as all are being sold with NO reserve. Note that this collection spans the years from 1950 to 1972, and just about every single 1950s and 1960s horror/sci-fi movie is represented here. Also note that we have listed them in DATE order (first by year, and then alphabetically within years). This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire rare pressbooks that almost never are offered for sale! Condition: fine. Note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Since pressbooks were INTENDED to be cut up (the theater owners would cut out the newspaper ads to run in their local papers). It is very difficult to find a pressbook that has NOT been cut, and that ads greatly to their value! Other than a small area of pen writing in the upper left corner of the back cover, the pressbook is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
