DESCRIPTION (ACTUAL IMAGES) MOVIE POSTERS OF THE 1960'S THAT WERE SENT TO THEATER OWNERS WERE EXPECTED TO BE RETURNED TO THE NATIONAL SCREEN SERVICE (THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE POSTERS) OR DESTROYED AFTER BEING USED TO PROMOTE THE MOVIE. MANY TIMES THE ITEMS GATHERED DUST IN THEATER BASEMENTS OR WERE TAKEN HOME BY PATRONS OR EMPLOYEES. HERE WE PRESENT A MOST STUNNING, RARE VINTAGE 1964 ORIGINAL ONE- SHEET MOVIE POSTER FOR THE BEATLES CLASSIC MOVIE, "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT". IT IS TRULY A WORLD CLASS EXAMPLE AND AMONG THE BEST SURVIVING EXAMPLES IN EXISTENCE. THIS EXAMPLE IS IN OUTSTANDING, INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL, NEAR MINT 'AS NEW' CONDITION. MEASURING 27" X 42", STANDARD ONE-SHEET MOVIE POSTERS WERE SENT TO THEATRES PRE-FOLDED, THREE FOLDS HORIZONTALLY AND ONCE VERTICALLY. THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE HAS ONLY BEEN FOLDED HORIZONTALLY. THE MAJORITY THAT EMERGED FROM NATIONAL SCREEN SERVICE HAD THE VERTICAL FOLD AS WELL, making the AREAS OF THE crossover of the FOLD lines PRONE TO STRESS, WEAR AND TEARS WHEN WHEN ONE OPENS AND CLOSES THE POSTER OVER TIME. BECAUSE THIS POSTER HAS NO VERTICAL FOLDS, THIS MAJESTIC EXAMPLE HAS NONE OF THOSE STRESS POINTS OR WEAR HOLES IN THE CENTER AREAS. ABSOLUTELY CLEAN OF ANY FLAWS. A TWO-PART NUMBER (AND POSTER SIZE) WAS ALWAYS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL SCREEN
SERVICE TO EVERY MOVIE IN THE UNITED STATES, AND STAMPED ON THE BACK OF THE
POSTER. THE NUMBER FOR "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT" IS "64/261". THE FIRST NUMBER (64)
IS THE YEAR OF RELEASE - 1964. THE SECOND NUMBER (261) IS THE UNIQUE NUMBER
ISSUED TO A MOVIE THAT YEAR, ALONG WITH THE SIZE "1-SH" FOR ONE-SHEET. THE BACK
OF THIS POSTER DISPLAYS THE OFFICIAL STAMP, DICTATING THE AUTHENTICITY (THE
REPRODUCTION POSTERS DO NOT HAVE THE STAMP). ACCOMPANIED BY LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY FROM BEATLES EXPERT AND RENOWNED AUTHOR, PERRY COX.
