One Sheet (27" x 41") ;
Very Fine+ Folded
20th Century Fox, 1968

This example from the classic original version of Pierre Boulle's novel is folded in outstanding condition and displays only one pinhole in each corner and mild cross-fold separation.

John Chambers created pioneering makeup effects for the film, applying techniques he'd developed for WWII veterans and studying apes at the Los Angeles Zoo for realistic expressions. The project tied up top Hollywood makeup artists, with leftover materials later used for "Fugitives in Space" (1968). Chambers received an Honorary Academy Award-the second ever for a makeup artist-presented by Walter Matthau and a tuxedoed chimp.

Estimate: $500 - 1,000
