This British Quad poster for Arthur P. Jacobs' "Planet of the Apes" is widely regarded as the best design for the film. It features four character panels: Charlton Heston as Taylor, Buck Taylor as Julius, Linda Harrison as Nova, and Maurice Evans as Dr. Zaius, all set against a striking outer space background. This particular example was folded as issued and has been professionally linen-backed. It underwent light touch-ups to the folds, with some light and sporadic touch-ups in the upper and lower black fields. Additionally, the borders have been airbrushed.

"Planet of the Apes" is a hugely influential film and the first in a series of four sequels. It has inspired a television show, a remake, a comic book series, and even an episode of "The Simpsons." The film received widespread critical acclaim and is celebrated as a classic. Regarded as one of the best films of 1968, it was praised for its creativity and thought-provoking commentary on a world turned upside down.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
