Auction History Result f413 QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE style B half-sheet movie poster '58 sexy Zsa Zsa! Date Sold 12/12/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 21" x 27") (Learn More) Queen of Outer Space, the 1958 Edward Bernds science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy space adventure thriller ("26 Million Miles Through The Unknown Universe -- To The Indescribable Terrors and Beauties of Planet Venus!"; "Mankind's First Fantastic Flight to Venus -- the Female Planet!"; "From a story by Ben Hecht"; "Screenplay by Charles Beaumont") starring Zsa Zsa Gabor (often mistaken for playing the title role!), Eric Fleming, Dave Willock, Laurie Mitchell (in the title role as Queen Yllana), Lisa Davis, and Paul Birch. Note that Ben Hecht, who is given credit for the story, and Charles Beaumont, credited with the screenplay, were two of the most talented writers ever to work in Hollywood. So how did they end up working on this low budget cheesy grade Z movie? Legend has it that Hecht told the story at a party, and someone who overheard it started making a movie of it, and Hecht heard about it and demanded screen credit! As to Charles Beaumont, it surely was the low point of his otherwise illustrious career! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was machine folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has had some of its blank borders very neatly trimmed off as it now measures 21" x 27". The entire poster has darkened. The poster was glued or mounted to something at some time as the entire back of the poster has a sort of "tacky" feel to it, but it is not sticky at all. There are creases, smudges, a few stains, and a few pinholes around the edges of the poster. The poster was folded once in each direction and there are extra creases to the left and right of the rippled foldline. There are a few creases, scuffs, small stains, and pinholes around the edges of the image and there is a stain on one of Zsa Zsa's legs. The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! I would think many collectors could display this poster just as it is, as its defects are not very distracting, or any restorer could certainly paperback it and restore it so it looks fantastic, and it would not have a lot of paint anywhere on the poster.
