About the Item

With a kitschy schlock-horror title and eye-catchingly vibrant artwork featuring a young bride dramatically recoiling in horror at the alien shadow lurking behind her, B movie sci-fi doesn't get much better than this! Released in black and white by Paramount as a double feature with 'The Blob,' 'I Married A Monster From Outer Space' became a fifties drive-in favourite. Starring Gloria Talbot and Tom Tyron, the film followed a new bride's discovery that her husband has been replaced by an alien in humanoid form, along with most of the men in her small town. Despite the sensationalist marketing, the movie was well received by critics as an "intelligent, atmospheric and subtly made sci-fi thriller." Conservation backed on linen. Backing and spots of color touching have smoothed and diminished one vertical and three horizontal machine folds and a diagonal crease across lower left corner. Tiny paper loss to tip of lower left corner. Fine surface scratches to lower corners. A few scuffs of black ink transfer and a fine surface scratch to red ground. A spot of light wrinkling at lower credits around 'VITTES' and a few areas of darkening and minor foxing to margins. Image and colors otherwise excellent.

James Bond 'Moonraker' Original Vintage Australian Daybill Movie Poster, 1979
Located in Devon, GB
Capitalising on the sci-fi space craze in the wake of 'Star Wars,' EON Productions opted to postpone filming 'For Your Eyes Only' in favour of loosely adapting Ian Fleming's 'Moonraker' as the eleventh instalment in the James Bond series. And so Roger Moore's fourth outing as agent 007 saw him head into outer space to prevent a plot to wipe out the world population and recreate humanity with a master race. Despite production costs more than double those of 'The Spy Who Loved Me' (1977), the space-age lark became the highest grossing 007 movie to date, until usurped by 'Goldeneye' in 1995. The Australian Daybill poster featured the same spectacular silvery artwork by American artist Daniel Goozee as the British and US poster campaigns, which pictured Bond in a spacesuit rather than his typical tux. Although a similar format, Australian day bills are significantly rarer than US insert posters.
