The Fly

London: Twentieth Century-Fox, 1958. Eight vintage front-of-house cards for the British release of the 1958 film. Provenance stamps and annotations in manuscript ink on the versos.

Based on the 1957 short story by George Langelaan, about a scientist who is transformed into a grotesque, human-fly hybrid after his experiments with a matter-transportation machine go very wrong. A breakthrough hit for actor Vincent Price as well as director Kurt Neumann, although Neumann would pass away a month after the film's release.

Basis for David Cronenberg's 1986 film, and its subsequent sequel, "The Fly II," in 1989.

Set and shot partly on location in Montreal.

10 x 8 inches. Lightly toned, with neat pinholes at each corner, overall Very Good or better.
