  “This is Commander Taylor, Astronaut. He has landed in a world where Apes are the rulers and Man the beast. Now he is caged, tortured, risks mutilation. Because no human can remain human on the Planet of the Apes.”

  It’s not often I get a poster in that makes me go WOW! Well this original Czech one-sheet is such a poster. The film is a personal favourite of mine and this poster is one of the best, for Arthur P. Jacobs’ “Planet of the Apes” (Planeta Opic). It was created in 1970, the movie’s first year of release in the Czech Republic. The poster displays colourful psychedelic-inspired artwork by Vratislav Hlavaty. This artwork comes in a smaller size and a much scarcer larger format, and it is the larger format (22.75″ x 33″) which is offered here. The poster is presented conservation linen-backed with some minor sympathetic restoration. The colours are stunning, deep & unfaded. “Planet of the Apes” is considered one of the pivotal sci-fi movies ever made and this original example would provide an incredible corner-stone addition to any movie fan’s collection.

  Trivia: At one of the first test screenings, a woman walked up to Charlton Heston and asked him how he was. Heston had no clue who she was until she revealed that she was Kim Hunter. He simply hadn’t recognized her as he hadn’t seen her outside of her ape make-up.
