Original British 11 inch x 8 1/2 inch Trade Advertisement from Kinematograph Weekly for the 1960 J. Lee Thompson Biographical Drama I AIM AT THE STARS, based on the story by George Froeschel and starring Curt Jurgens, Victoria Shaw, Gia Scala, Herbert Lom and James Daly.

This drama takes a look at the controversial life of Dr. Wernher von Braun (Jurgens). During World War II, von Braun developed the deadly V-2 rocket, which was a key weapon for Germany in the strikes against London. But after the war, he defected to the United States to help them develop their Cold War satellite program. Accusations of Nazi sympathies and angry attacks by those who suffered from his rockets plagued the doctor, who repeatedly claimed he was forced to work for the Nazi party.

The Trade Advert is in very good condition.
