Our expert's notes

Half Sheet (22" x 28") ; Style B
Very Fine- Folded
Paramount, 1953

This "Style B" half sheet is one of the genre's most iconic and desirable. None of the other formats depict the great alien warships as seen on this poster. This rare poster is in excellent condition.

This scarce half sheet has around twelve staple marks, small single pin holes within the image, and several in the corners and borders. The folds are not worn, and there is a slight separation in the lower middle vertical fold. The colors have retained their vibrancy.

George Pals' classic adaptation of H. G. Wells' science fiction novel is one of the most influential films of the era, due to the director's use of three-strip Technicolor and the picture's Academy Award-winning special effects that make the Martian onslaught against humanity realistically harrowing.

Estimate: $15,000 - 30,000
