An Original Vintage Theater-Used Unfolded Double-Sided International Advance One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 40 3/4")
Note: Scroll down for the condition, description, and item defects. Film Description Little Shop of Horrors, the 1986 Frank Oz (co-creator of the "Sesame Street" and "Muppet" characters, and also the voice of Yoda from the "Star Wars" series of movies) horror musical comedy ("'Meet me at the funniest shop in town.'"; "I'm a mean green muther from outer space... and I'm baaad!"; "A singing plant. A daring hero. A sweet girl. A demented dentist. It's the most outrageous musical comedy in years.") starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia, Steve Martin (billed as "With a special appearance by Steve Martin"), James Belushi, John Candy, Christopher Guest, and Bill Murray. Note that this movie is based on the musical Broadway play, which itself was a re-make of the classic low budget movie of the same name!
More About This Item Featuring J. Ibusuki Artwork Note that this is an "international" style one-sheet (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). Note the lack of a ratings box and NSS information. Also note that this is a double-sided poster. In the 1990s movie posters were sometimes made in double-sided versions (for use in light boxes). If we do not note that a poster is double-sided (as this is), then it is single-sided. Note that the image on the reverse is a mirror image of the image on the front! Also note that this poster was never machine folded! An unfolded poster is almost always far more difficult to find than a folded poster of the same title, and finding unfolded posters in excellent condition is even more difficult! Finally, note that this is a rare advance one-sheet (note the "ADVANCE 1-SHEET" at the bottom 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 to fine Notable Defects: There are some faint creases scattered throughout the poster.
Explanation Of What This Condition Grade Means: This item has only a few VERY minor imperfections. We may have written just a few words about those imperfections, but we may not have, as they are very minor. Note that we are very harsh condition graders, and that our "very good to fine" compares favorably to many dealers' "fine" condition! You should look at our "super-sized" image of the actual item, which will confirm just how nice this item is!
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)!
