An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Beast with One Million Eyes, the 1955 David Kramarsky horror thriller ("An unspeakable horror... Destroying... Terrifying!"; "Filmed for wide screen in Terror-scope"; "Screaming terror!") starring Paul Birch, Lorna Thayer, Dona Cole, Bruce Whitmore (in the title role as the Beast; billed as "and the Beast"), and Leonard Tarver. In case you were wondering, the "beast" did not actually have a million eyes (or even close)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Albert Kallis Important Added Info: Note that this poster is one of the most commonly censored 1950s posters! Apparently, the artwork image of sexy Lorna Thayer wearing a 3-piece nightie that showed much of her cleavage and midriff was just TOO much for most 1950s movie theaters, and many of them covered her body in some way! The theater that used this particular one-sheet had someone put a piece of brown paper tape over the crotch area of Thayer's body, thus not offending the 1956 people who saw this movie outside the theater. Depending on how you look at it, this is either a significant defect, or a pretty cool addition to the poster, demonstrating just how Puritanical America was in the middle 1950s! Condition: fair. There is a piece of tape over a portion of the woman's body at right . There are areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster (some repaired with white paper tape from the front and back) and there is some tattering and small paper loss along the foldlines. There are water stains and creases scattered throughout the poster. There are some scuff marks and scratches around the top crossfold. There are a few pieces of clear tape on the back of the poster along the foldlines, but they were not put there for any restoration purpose. After the poster is linenbacked it will look great, but please do not bid unless you can accept the poster's defects and are willing to pay to have it restored! Learn More about condition grades
