The Brain That Wouldn't Die (American
<B>The Brain That Wouldn't Die (American International, 1962).</B></I> Half Sheet (22" X 28"). When considering the great "brain" films of the 1950s and 60s, at the top of virtually every list is this inarguable classic, the tale of a brilliant scientist (Jason Evers), so grieved by the tragic death of his fiancee (Virginia Leith), that he keeps her head alive in a roasting pan in his laboratory, right next to the deformed mutant he keeps locked in the spare room. If this sounds like a recipe for disaster, you couldn't be more right! This lovely, unrestored half sheet, which perfectly captures the heady plight of the poor Jan Compton (Leith) - lovingly referred to in fan circles as "Jan in the Pan" - shows some edge and fold wear, slight wrinkling, light surface soiling, and writing in ballpoint pen on the verso. Fine/Very Fine.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Rolled Material (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
