It's been so long it's hard to recall exactly, but it was basically
quite similar to the famous artwork from the style A one sheet, except
rendered horizontally to fit the billboard-like format of the 6-sheet.
Oh yeah, after I sent the first message I remembered there was also a
fine 3-sheet of FIRST SPACESHIP ON VENUS in the trunk. Probably a couple
other nice items I've forgotten about as well.

Jim,
What is the image on the 6-sheet. THIS ISLAND EARTH had some great art
for its posters. Fun movie too. Any film with an Interocitor can't be bad!

May the holes in your collection be filled.

Michael,
A sad tale, but all too familiar. I'm sure something similar
happened to many of us, particularly when we were younger and out
stuff was subject to the whims of parents. I moved around a lot in
my late teens and twenties and once stupidly left a trunk of my
stuff at a friends house until I could get settled. His mother
decided to clean out his closet and of course my trunk went into
the dumpster. Inside, among other things, was a one sheet for
EARTH Vs. THE FLYING SAUCERS and... wait for it... a six-sheet for
THIS ISLAND EARTH (ouch). Has anyone ever seen a 6-sheet for THIS
ISLAND EARTH? I never have... not since the day I put mine in that
damn trunk.

When I was around 12 years old our house was almost 100 years old and the attic was never really touched. When the time came to gut it and insulate it, add a floor (you had to walk between the beams) etc they cleared out a ton of old stuff.
But what I found up there was a rolled up piece of paper. Upon opening it I was
looking at a one-sheet from Lon Chaney Sr's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. It was a beautiful
poster in beautiful condition. I still remember the colors. I stored it away rolled in
"my cabinet" which, a few years later, my mother apparently decided to clean.
Bye bye PHANTOM.
In later years when I started collecting old film posters I scoured the
place for that poster just in case. No luck.
I was already a huge film buff (as mentioned in the Expanding Hobby thread)
with a tremendous affinity for the old horror and sci-fi films, and I actually
recognized this as something special. I think this find sank deep in my
subconscious and help steer me to collecting old horror and sci-fi posters.
Anyone else have one that got away?
