An Original Vintage Theater-Used Unfolded Advance One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41")
Note: Scroll down for the condition, description, and item defects. Film Description Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the classic 1978 Philip Kaufman science fiction thriller ("From deep space..."; "The seed is planted... Terror grows."; "Watch out! They get you while you're sleeping!"; "Sleep... Sleep... And be born again into a world without fear and hate!"; "Based on the novel 'The Body Snatchers' by Jack Finney"; about aliens invading Earth by replacing people with an alien counterpart!) starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy (forever tied to his role as Mr. Spock in the "Star Trek" TV show and feature movies), Jeff Goldblum, Veronica Cartwright, Art Hindle, Don Siegel and Robert Duvall. Note that this is one of the few cases where a re-make of a movie is superior to the original (in this case greatly helped by a budget that was probably at least 100 times higher than that of the original 1956 movie of the same name).
More About This Item Note that this is a rare advance one-sheet (note the "advance" at the lower right of the poster). Note that next to the lot number in the title of this auction we put "UF". The "UF" is a note for our shipping department to let them know the poster is stored "UnFolded". This allows us to more quickly find the item in our warehouse, therefore helping us to ship all orders as quickly as possible. Other items will have either a "UF" (UnFolded), "TF" (Tri-Folded), or "FF" (Fully Folded) next to the lot number, but please know that no matter which you buy (or if you buy any combination thereof), you only pay a single U.S. shipping charge (non-U.S. orders are charged the actual cost of shipping), as we can unfold tri-folded or fully folded posters and roll them in with unfolded posters, thus sending a single package.
Overall Condition: very good Notable Defects: Other than some minor fold and border wear, the poster is in pretty nice condition!
Explanation Of What This Condition Grade Means: This item has survived in pretty nice condition, but has some relatively minor imperfections. If they are within the image, they are not very distracting at all, or they may be in the blank borders, where they will not show when the item is displayed. We may have written a few words about those imperfections, but we may not have, as they are relatively minor, and you can likely see them by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual item (if they are the type that CAN'T be seen in our super-sized image, like faint water staining or tape on the back, we ALWAYS describe that in words).
More About This Poster Type: One-Sheets are the standard movie poster size, what you see outside of any movie theater. From 1896 until roughly 1990, almost all actual theater-used one-sheets measured 27" x 41" (since then, most one-sheets measure 27" x 40"). Up until 1980 (or thereabouts) the vast majority of one-sheets were folded twice horizontally and once vertically (this is in no way considered a defect). Sometime during the late '70s, studios began printing one-sheets rolled. Most one-sheets after the mid-1980s are printed unfolded, though it is still possible to find some newer posters folded. Many newer one-sheets are printed double-sided (with a mirror image on the back) for use in a light box in front of the theaters. However, sometimes the studios also print some posters single-sided, so a recent poster can be single-sided and still be studio issued. All of the one-sheets (unless otherwise noted) being sold by eMoviePoster are original vintage theater-used one-sheets (or printed intended for theater-use, but they never made it to theaters)!
