HUMAN DUPLICATORS 1965 Richard Kiel, George Nader, Richard Arlen FRENCH POSTER

Original French 47 inch x 63 inch Poster for the 1965 Hugo Grimaldi Sci-Fi Movie THE HUMAN DUPLICATORS starring George Nader, Barbara Nichols, George Macready, Richard Arlen, Dolores Faith, Richard Kiel, Larry Barton, Hugh Beaumont, Tommy Leonetti and Lonnie Sattin.

The story follows a very tall alien (Kiel) who has come to earth at the command of the "Intergalactic Council" to replace select humans with "android doppelgängers." The goal of human duplication is to take over the earth, but the plan fails when the androids are destroyed by an investigator from the US National Intelligence Agency.

Poster art by Constantin Belinsky (1904 - 1999). Influenced by sculpture and a fan of the bright colors of lithography, Constantin Belinsky was one of the most prolific cinema poster artists of the 1950s.
He arrived in Paris in 1925 and produced his first posters for the distributor Gray Film from 1930. His passion for sculpture is reflected in his compositions, in particular those carved faces which seem to be worked with a bevel. Like his poster friend Boris Grinsson, Belinsky worked little during the Second World War. From 1945, he joined the poster artists' union, and until 1960, American companies - Fox, Universal and Columbia - solicited him. In the 1970s, he used photomontage, a technique which has been his for several years, far removed from the models painted in gouache.

The poster is in very good folded condition.
