Auction History Result 1a0009 ROCKETSHIP X-M linen Italian 1p 1950 different Cesselon art of Bridges & Massen in space, rare! Date Sold 10/31/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm]) (Learn More) Rocketship X-M ("*Expedition Moon"), the 1950 Kurt Neumann science fiction (sci-fi) space thriller ("The screen's First story of man's conquest of space!"; "Expedition Moon"; "The Future is Here!"; "See Strange planets! Strange People! See Man's greatest dream come true! See a moon's-eye view of the Earth!") starring Lloyd Bridges, Osa Massen, John Emery, Noah Beery Jr., Hugh O'Brian, and Morris Ankrum. Note that, because of post-production issues (and the fact that this movie was rushed though production in 18 days) this film beat George Pal's Destination Moon to theaters by a few weeks, and became the "screen's first story of man's conquest of space". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Angelo Cesselon Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Italian poster, and that was 18 years ago! Also note that bizarrely the Italian poster people titled this movie "Destinazione Luna", which translates to "Destination Moon", which was an entirely different movie that came out the same year! Apparently, they liked that title better! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had darkening somewhat. It had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds. There was surface paper loss in the bottom right corner extending slightly into the circle logo. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer left alone the surface paper loss at bottom right (this could be touched up by another restorer without re-backing the poster, or of course, it could be displayed as it is).
