FANTASTIC VOYAGE ('66) FANTASTIC VOYAGE ('66) special poster OR search current auctions Auction History Result 1w015 FANTASTIC VOYAGE special 1966 incredible close up of completely naked Raquel Welch, rare! Date Sold 11/2/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Poster (measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Fantastic Voyage, the 1966 Richard Fleischer science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy adventure thriller ("A fantastic and spectacular voyage... Through the human body... Into the brain."; "A fantastic and spectacular voyage... through the living body...into the brain."; "Screenplay by Harry Kleiner"; "The nations new #1 pin-up, Raquel Welch, stars in 'Fantastic Voyage' coming soon from 20th Century Fox"; "Adaptation by David Duncan") starring Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Edmond O'Brien, Donald Pleasence, Arthur O'Connell, William Redfield, and Arthur Kennedy. Note that Raquel Welch had spent a few years in Hollywood prior to making this movie, usually appearing in small roles in TV shows or movies, or making a brief appearance on variety shows. But once she was cast in this movie, and the studio "sold" the movie using her naked body on a special poster, she became a major sex symbol and a "pin-up queen"! Also note that Isaac Asimov was asked to write the novelization from the script, and, declaring that the script was full of plot holes, received permission to write the book the way he wanted. The novel came out first because he wrote quickly, as well as delays in filming! 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 special advance poster is printed on one-sheet paper stock, but it measures exactly 14" x 22", the size of a window card (so some people refer to it as a "window card" and some people refer to it as a "special poster"). Given that it has a small blank area below the tagline at the bottom, we are thinking the studio left that so that people could put either the theater name or the show times. We would imagine the studio made the poster this size so that theaters could order bunches of these, and then display them around town in window card frames (but displaying this poster seems incredibly risque for 1966 America, which likely is why it is a rare poster!). Certainly, we can understand why 20th Century-Fox would think that a completely naked Raquel Welch would get LOTS of people to go to this movie, but we would think this poster surely caused a furor wherever it was displayed! Condition: very good. There are creases in the right blank border to the right of Welch's arm and in the left blank border to the left of Welch's elbow. There are a few other light creases scattered throughout the poster, including a 12" slightly semi-circular one in the top blank border. I don't believe the creases are very distracting, and this card could certainly be displayed and enjoyed exactly as it is, or certainly, it could easily be linenbacked or paperbacked. In either case, I hope the new owner of it will display this special poster, because it will cause conversation wherever it is displayed! Learn More about condition grades
