An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style Y Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, the classic 1960 George Pal science fiction (sci-fi) time-travel romantic adventure thriller ("You will Orbit into the fantastic future!"; "in futuristic Metrocolor"; "It smashes the time barrier... And You take the greatest adventure of your life!"; "Based on the novel by H.G. Wells") starring Rod Taylor (as H.G. Wells), Alan Young (as David Filby, and also his son James Filby), Yvette Mimieux (very young, in her second big screen role as Weena), Sebastian Cabot, Tom Helmore, and Paul Frees (as the voice of the Talking Rings). Note that anyone not familiar with the H.G. Wells novel might think that this movie adapted most of its ideas into the screenplay. But actually, the source novel is an incredibly bleak story about a dystopian future, with no romance of any kind. Screenwriter David Duncan, who had written a few 1950s B-science fiction screenplays before this, did a brilliant job completely changing H.G. Wells' ideas into an entirely different story! His screenplay was merely "inspired by" Wells' story, and he deserves far more credit for the success of this movie than he often receives! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Reynold Brown Important Added Info: Note that this style Y 40x60 is an incredibly rare poster. We have never auctioned it before.

There are several drip stains scattered in various areas of the poster due to exposure to moisture. There are creases and some tears around the edges, and there are some dot stains, smudges and creases scattered in the image, typical of 40x60s of this period (see our image). Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. While we think that many collectors can accept this poster's defects and display it "as is", certainly it can be restored, if the new owner chooses. Either way, the high bidder on this poster will have a REALLY exceptionally rare poster to display! Learn More about condition grades
