R60s Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More)

Frankenstein, the classic 1931 James Whale Universal monster horror thriller ("The monster that terrorized the world!"; "The Man Who Made a Monster"; "Warning! The monster is loose!"; "Based upon the Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Story"; "Adapted by John L. Balderston from the play by Peggy Webling"; the first of the Universal "Frankenstein" movies, and regarded as one of the finer movies of any genre, in large part due to the marvelous acting of Boris Karloff, and the marvelous direction of James Whale!) starring Colin Clive (as Dr. Herbert V. Frankenstein), Boris Karloff (as the Frankenstein monster), Edward Van Sloan, Fredric Kerr, Mae Clarke, Dwight Frye (extremely memorable as Fritz), and John Boles

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster came from a man who worked for Universal Studios in the 1960s and 1970s. He received many posters as samples, and that meant that they were in wonderful unused condition, and also he received several rare advance posters not commonly seen (some of the posters he had have never been seen before, and it is possible that they were promotional samples that were never distributed outside the studio, and it is possible the copy offered here is the only surviving copy!). eMoviePoster has sold many posters from this man's collection, and collectors have paid a premium to purchase them (both because of the condition and the rarity of some of the posters). This week, eMoviePoster is selling 12 posters from this collection. Those twelve posters have this paragraph on them. Be sure to look at the other eleven posters from this collection we are selling this week on eBay (as eleven separate items).

Condition: fine. There are tiny creases in the first "E" of "FRANKENSTEIN" and in the leg of the monster (each of the creases is around 1/4" to 1/2" horizontally). The ones in the leg seem to have caused slight discoloration in the paper, although it could be a pri. Who among us can afford to pay five figures for an original Frankenstein one-sheet (or four figures for a Realart re-issue one-sheet)? This 1960s UNIVERSAL re-release is the best alternative for the rest of us! It has attractive graphics and was put out by the very same studio that released the original in 1931, plus it is a very rare poster!
