An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Benton Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Elysia, the 1934 Bryan Foy nudist colony sexploitation documentary ("A motion picture thrill for all time!"; "The Land of the Sun Worshippers"; "Unique! Exotic! Unusual!"; "A rare and tender love story actually filmed at a nature camp..."; "Startling yet CLEAN as a Hounds Tooth"; "Modern Eves and modern Adams but nary a serpent!"; "The first authentic feature filmed in an American nudist colony"; "A rare and tender love story actually filmed at Elysian Fields nudist colony") starring Betty De Salle, Constance Allen, and Hobart Glassey. Note that a few movies were released prior to this one dealing with the then-new "nudist" craze, which had started in Europe and which was having success in America, but those earlier movies showed European nudists. THIS movie showed actual American nudes, and the distributors of the movie proudly bragged about that on the posters! If you have any other information for this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this card is made by the Benton Card Company which is a different company than the one that printed most of the window cards at that time. The Benton Card Company made mostly two-color window cards that used blown up newspaper ads. They sold their window cards cheaper than the regular ones, so many theaters used them. In the 1970s, someone bought the company and made reprints of earlier titles, but those are clearly marked. The window card offered here is from the original release of this movie! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. There are some smudges and water stains scattered through the card, more so around the edges.
