It Conquered the World (American International,
<B>It Conquered the World (American International, 1956).</B></I> Half Sheet (22" X 28"). When an alien intelligence contacts Dr. Tom Anderson (Lee Van Cleef) and offers him riches and power to sell out the human race, Anderson agrees, but is soon opposed by Dr. Paul Nelson (Peter Graves), who convinces Anderson that he's wrong to betray his fellow humans, leading to a showdown with the mighty creature, in the heart of Bronson Canyon. The creature, affectionately dubbed "Beulah" by its designer, Paul Blaisdell, is one of the most bizarre and recognizable space monsters in all of cinema history, with its leering grin, pointy head, and threatening claws. This arresting, unrestored half sheet, showing both the creature and a scantily-clad Beverly Garland, has pinholes in the corners and in the title area, edge wear, and a certain amount of surface soiling, but displays very nicely, making for a great piece from a very desirable title. The half sheet is generally considered the best piece on this title. Rolled, Fine/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>)
