    RARE Belgian Original Release Poster on Linen -
    Dr. Cyclops
    (1940),
    Albert Dekker, Victor Killian, Janice Logan, Ernest Schoedsack, Merian C. Cooper, Classic Paramount Science Fiction, Technicolor
    Here is a very rare and striking Belgian movie poster for the original release of the Paramount Technicolor sci-fi classic,
    Dr Cyclops
    . The film starred Albert Dekker as the bespectacled madman with support from Thomas Coley, Janice Logan and Victor Killian. Directed and produced by the team that created the original
    King Kong
    , this film was nominated for an Academy Award for it's innovative special visual effects.  This poster is from the film's original Belgian release shortly after the end of the war in Europe (probably 1946 or 1947). It is linenbacked and in very nice condition after nearly 75 years. This is a beautiful example of Belgian movie poster art. I have not seen another copy come up for sale or auction since the Christie's auction (Zreik Collection) in 1998.
