An Original 1957 Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) X: The Unknown, the 1956 (released in the U.S. as "X... The Unknown" in 1957) Leslie Norman English Hammer horror science fiction (sci-fi) mystery thriller ("Machine gun bullets! Dynamite! Flame throwers! Nothing can stop it!"; "Can anything escape its terror?"; "It kills... but it cannot be killed! It rises from 2000 miles beneath the earth to melt everything in its path... machine gun bullets, flame throwers... nothing can stop it!"; "Story and Screen Play by Jimmy Sangster") starring Dean Jagger, Edward Chapman, Leo McKern, Anthony Newley, and Jameson Clark. Note that the film's release was delayed by eight months because of a dispute between RKO and Warner Brothers over the distribution (in the late 1950s, RKO was selling it's movies to other studios; the posters and lobby cards were printed with an RKO copyright, but we have seen ones with a studio-issued "presented by Warner Bros." snipe glued on them!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. Someone covered three of the rear edges with tape (not put there for any restoration purpose). There are some creases and scuffs scattered in various areas.
