An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) The Incredible Shrinking Man, the classic 1957 Jack Arnold science fiction (sci-fi) miniaturization fantasy adventure thriller ("A fascinating adventure into the unknown!"; "The most incredible story the screen has ever told!"; "Every hour he gets smaller.... Smaller... Smaller and moment by moment the terror mounts!..."; "Victim of Weird mist!"; "Day by Day he shrinks!"; "Science is baffled!"; "Cat becomes monster!"; "Terror at every turn!"; "Deadly spider attacks!"; "Lost in a floods fury!"; a highly literate screenplay by Richard Matheson from his own novel; surprisingly, the studio did not force Matheson to tack on an artificial "happy" ending, and it is lucky, for most people think the movie's actual ending is wonderful!; the special effects are primitive by today's standards, but they are very powerful, and work just fine) starring Grant Williams (in the title role), Randy Stuart, April Kent, Paul Langton, Raymond Bailey, William Schallert, and Orangey (as the cat Butch; Orangey was also Cat in "Breakfast At Tiffany's!")

Important Added Info: Note that the other style half-sheet from this classic sci-fi movie has a comic strip style image. The artwork on the style B half-sheet offered here has a very different image from that of the other posters on this title! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: very good. There are pinholes, creases, smudges, and a few stains around the edges of the poster. There is a small stain in the end of "MAN" in the title and two small areas of surface paper loss in the background above the title, and some horizontal creases in the image. There is a stain and surface paper loss in the top right corner that is mostly in the blank border above the artwork. There are some light vertical creases throughout the poster (likely caused by rolling and unrolling). There are some pieces of white conservation tape on the back of the left and right borders repairing small tears, but otherwise the poster is completely unrestored! Since most of this poster's defects are in the borders, and would not show if framed, I think many collectors could display this great poster exactly as it is. But of course, any talented restorer could paperback this poster and repair the above defects, after which it would look great, and there would be little paint anywhere on the image!
