THE FLY Original 1958 Movie Poster, 27" x 41", C8.5 Very Fine to Near Mint

Description: This is the original (1sh) 1958 movie poster THE FLY. It was used to promote the film in theatres when it was released by 20TH Century Fox in 1958. It is not a reprint nor a reproduction. The movie stars Al (David) Hedison, Patricia Owens, Vincent Price, Herbert Marshall, Kathleen Freeman, Betty Lou Gerson, and Charles Herbert. It was directed by Kurt Neumann. This restored movie poster is Rolled and linen backed. The poster measures 27" x 41". The poster was rolled once it was linen backed. With the linen backing, it now measures 28.50" x 43". This poster was originally Folded. Almost all original movie posters pre 1985 are Folded. This is not considered a flaw or defect. This Restored movie poster is graded C8.5, or Very Fine to Near Mint. This grade is generally the highest grade a restored original movie poster can receive. Original movie posters are graded, from the top down, as C10 (Mint), C9 (Near Mint), C8 (Very Fine), C7 (Very Good to Very Fine), C6 (Very Good), C5 (Good to Very Good), etc. It is difficult to find any C10 (Mint) original movie posers pre 1985. Prior to restoration this poster was graded a C6.5 Fine Plus. Restoration corrected several short tears, minor paper loss at the top, Fold separation at the cross Folds, chips along the borders, creasing, pinholes in the corners, and a few minor stains along the borders. The poster is now beautiful and presents as pristine. And basically it is. We believe that this original 1958 movie poster of THE FLY has very good investment value. Fans and collectors of sci-fi and horror movie memorabilia will always create demand for this original movie poster. Although it does not carry the high values of other sci-fi and horror movie posters from the 50s and 60s, it is one of the best horror movies of those two great decades, or at least it is to me. And fans of Vincent Price will also create demand for the original movie poster of THE FLY. In addition, the superior condition of this original will increase its investment value. It could be graded Near Mint, C9, but as we said earlier in this description we do not grade restored original movie posters any higher than C8.5.
