Date Sold 10/22/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Promotional Movie Brochure (measures 6 1/2" x 10" [17 x 25 cm] when fully folded; 8 "pages" on a single sheet; measures 26 1/2" x 40" when unfolded) (Learn More) The Incredible Shrinking Man, the classic 1957 Jack Arnold science fiction (sci-fi) miniaturization fantasy adventure thriller ("A fascinating adventure into the unknown!"; "The most incredible story the screen has ever told!"; "Every hour he gets smaller.... Smaller... Smaller and moment by moment the terror mounts!..."; "Victim of Weird mist!"; "Day by Day he shrinks!"; "Science is baffled!"; "Cat becomes monster!"; "Terror at every turn!"; "Deadly spider attacks!"; "Lost in a floods fury!"; a highly literate screenplay by Richard Matheson from his own novel; surprisingly, the studio did not force Matheson to tack on an artificial "happy" ending, and it is lucky, for most people think the movie's actual ending is wonderful!; the special effects are primitive by today's standards, but they are very powerful, and work just fine) starring Grant Williams (in the title role), Randy Stuart, April Kent, Paul Langton, Raymond Bailey, William Schallert, and Orangey (as the cat Butch; Orangey was also Cat in "Breakfast At Tiffany's!") NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this special promotional brochure, and it sold for $2,966! BUT THAT EXAMPLE WAS LINENBACKED, SO YOU COULD NOT SEE ANY OF THE COOL STUFF PRINTED ON THE REVERSE! What exactly is this? It was sent to theaters folded, to try to get them to book the movie, and it has information and images about the movie on the other sides, but when it is completely opened up, it has a completely different day-glo one-sheet-like image that is not on the regular one-sheet (and we are currently auctioning an example of that regular one-sheet in a separate auction)! This promotional poster is NOT pictured in the pressbook, but very similar art is on the cover of the pressbook, and there IS a full-page ad in the pressbook for a very similar day-glo 24-sheet, which was available to theaters, but we don't know of any example of that that exists, and other than the linenbacked version of this brochure that we previously auctioned, we don't know of any other examples of this great promo brochure! Condition: very good to fine. The brochure was folded as intended, and there are some smudges on the outer mostly blank parts that were intended to have the mailing address of the theater it was sent to (but this example was never sent, so those areas are blank). It also has a few faint creases and smudges that occurred during the folding process. Otherwise, it is in really nice condition, and has had no restoration (see our many images).
