One Million Years B.C. (1966), poster, British, signed by Ray Harryhausen


Unframed: 30 x 40 in. (76 x 102 cm)


This piece was signed in-person in 2003, when the previous owner met with Ray Harryhausen.


This poster does not surface very often, and is made even rarer by the fact that it is signed. It is rare for anyone to have an original film poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video or DVD sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures.


This film is a British adventure/fantasy film set in fictional prehistoric times, starring Raquel Welch and John Richardson. It was made by Hammer Film Productions and Seven Arts, and was a remake of the 1940 film produced by Hal Roach Studios. The film features stop motion animation by Ray Harryhausen.
