INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS

Three Sheet (41" x 81")
Fine- on Linen
Allied Artists, 1956

Before restoration, this three-sheet poster had varying degrees of paper loss and chips along the borders and folds, as well as random tears of different sizes. Touch-up was applied to the credits in the upper right corner, and most of the background areas were airbrushed. The linen backing was trimmed to the poster's edge, and it now displays very well.

The emotionless duplicate creature inspiration behind the infamous slang expression "pod people" that arose in the late 20th Century US culture, Don Siegel's classic 1956 Invasion Of The Body Snatchers proved to be one memorable discussion piece. Seen as everything from a commentary on allowing McCarthyism to an allegory on the overbearing Soviet Union, the film remains an essential and haunting sci-fi picture.
