Attack Of The 50 Ft. Woman (1958)
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman was made by Allied Artists for a reported $88,000, and audiences did not mind in the least that it showed. Its director, Nathan Juran, signed it as Nathan Hertz, his middle name, though he already had an Academy Award of his own for the art direction of How Green Was My Valley. Yvette Vickers, who plays the good-time girl Honey, became a Playboy Playmate the following year. The film grew from drive-in favourite to camp classic, and in 1993 it was remade for television with Daryl Hannah in the title role.
The artwork is by Reynold Brown, the illustrator behind many of the finest 1950s science fiction campaigns, and this design is among the most famous of the decade. The Three Sheet is the largest poster issued for the film, as no Six Sheet was produced. Three Sheets were printed in far smaller numbers than One Sheets and very few have come through from the 1950s, which makes this linen-backed example an exceptional find.
