Description: This is the Original (1sh) 1958 movie poster THE FLY. It was used by 20TH Century Fox to promote this movie when it was released in 1958. It is not a reprint nor a reproduction. The movie stars David Hedison, Patricia Owens, Vincent Price, Herbert Marshall, Kathleen Freeman, and Charles Herbert (as Phillippe, the young boy). It was directed by Kurt Neumann.This restored movie poster is Flat and measures 22" x 28", called a Half Sheet. We are storing it Flat and it will be mailed Flat. We believe by storing and mailing it Flat that this will better help tp preserve its integrity and grade. The poster was previously Folded prior to restoration. Most original movie posters pre-1985 are Folded and this is not considered a flaw or a defect. This original movie poster is graded C8.5 Very Fine to Near Mint. Original movie posters are graded as follows from the top down: C10 (Mint), C9 (Near Mint), C8 (Very Fine), C7 (Fine/Very Fine), C6 (Fine or Very Good), C5 (Good to Very Good), C4 (Good), etc. Prior to restoration this original Half Sheet was graded a C7.5 Very Fine Minus. Restoration corrected Fold wear, minor tears and chips along the borders, and pinholes in the corners. This original movie poster now displays beautifully. We believe that the original 19589 Half Sheet movie poster THE FLY has excellent investment value. We feel that the images on the Half Sheet of the 1958 THE FLY are much better than the image (really just one) on the One Sheet (27" x 41"). We also have the restored One Sheet of THE FLY listed in our eBay store. We believe that the Half Sheet of the 1958 THE FLY is much rarer than its companion One Sheet. And sci-fi and horror original movie posters from the incredible two decades of the 1950s and 1960s are always in great demand by collectors and fans alike. And as a side note, I love this movie!!!!! But the only place to see it on TV is on TCM and that does not happen too often. We also plan to list the original Six Sheet movie poster of the 1958 THE FLY once we have it restored and linen backed. The Six Sheet of THE FLY is an amazing site to see if you love this movie or are a huge fan of sci-fi and horror original movie posters, or are both.
