Red Planet Mars (United Artists, 1952). One
<B>Red Planet Mars (United Artists, 1952).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41"). Filmed at the height of the Cold War, this movie's theme of Good vs. Evil (as manifested in the conflict between the "Good" U.S.A. and the "Evil" Soviet Union) provides the centerpiece of this intelligently-written 1950s picture. When American scientists receive what they believe are radio signals from Mars, the news instantly transforms society. The Soviets try to use this upheaval to their advantage, but when further communications suggest that the Martians are ruled directly by God himself, absolute chaos ensues. Offered here is the rare "newspaper style" one sheet, which displays some minor edge wear, pinholes at the top corners, and some crossfold separation. Nevertheless, this is a very attractive and desirable poster for any collector of 1950s sci-fi. Very Fine-. *****<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
