Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Allied Artists,
<B>Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Allied Artists, 1956).</B></I> Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B. One of the most chilling Cold War-era sci-fi flicks ever produced, this is the story of an extra-terrestrial invasion, accomplished by replacing humans with alien pod people. Playing on America's fears of Communist infiltration, as seen in such classic scare films as <I>Red Nightmare </B></I>(hosted by Jack Webb), and <I>Invasion USA </B></I>(not the Chuck Norris version), although this movie is somewhat subtler, and far more artfully produced, than either of the others. Kevin McCarthy stars as Dr. Miles J. Bennell, the only man who seems to realize the full horror of what's going on. This lovely half sheet, the rare and far more desirable "Spotlight Dance" style, shows light fold wear with minor crossfold separation, pinholes in the corners and borders, a tiny chip in the bottom right corner. The poster appears to have been cleaned. If you're looking for <I>the</B></I> piece on this classic chiller, this is it! Very Fine-. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Large (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
