Three Sheet (41" x 81")
Very Fine+ Folded
United Artists, 1966

This beautiful poster, which was printed on two sheets, is folded in outstanding condition and displays only sporadic light rippling across the upper border. The colors are as fresh as when the poster was printed, and this unrestored example is the one to have.

A feature-length follow-up to the enormously popular TV series, "Thunderbirds." This was arguably the most popular of creators Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Supermarionation series, in which cleverly designed puppets starred in action and adventure roles. Highly ambitious, the film's special effects sequences, directed by Derek Meddings, took six months to complete. The film opened to mixed reviews and a disappointing box office - it had the misfortune to open at the same time as "Batman" (1966), based on the popular TV show that had sparked the Batmania craze - but still did well enough to spawn a sequel, "Thunderbirds 6," in 1968.

Estimate: $300 - 600
