An Original 1955 Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Devil Girl From Mars, the 1954 (released in the U.S. in 1955) David MacDonald English science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy Red Planet bad space-girl thriller ("Earth Menaced by Fantastic Powers"; "The Fantastic night of Terror that menaced the fate of the world!"; "Was she woman or monster?"; "Invasion from outer space... sights too weird to imagine! Destruction too monstrous to escape!"; "Produced by The Danzigers Edward J. Danziger, Harry Lee Danziger"; an absurd story of Martian men all dying, so the Martian women naturally want to come to the Earth and kidnap a bunch of Earth men so they can repopulate their planet!) starring Hugh McDermott, Hazel Court, Peter Reynolds, Adrienne Corri, Joseph Tomelty, Sophie Stewart, John Laurie, and Patricia Laffan (in the title role as Nyah, the Devil Girl from Mars!). Obviously, this is not like the sci-fi titles that try hard to be "authentic", like Red Planet Mars or Day the Earth Stood Still, but if you don't mind silliness in your sci-fi, this movie is for you!

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had four extra horizontal folds, with some minor wear on the folds. It had a tear in the upper and lower right border that extended into the girl's clothing. It had some small tears in the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was displayed, and the reds in the poster have faded. It is very noticeable when you compare it to an unfaded example, but it still displays well. We have seen other posters from this movie that faded in the same way, so we suspect it is something about the red inks that were used, but bear this in mind before bidding. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
