Auction History Result 2s1148 QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE linen 1sh 1958 Zsa Zsa Gabor on Venus, by Ben Hecht & Charles Beaumont! Date Sold 8/7/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (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. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster was folded 4" from the top and it had creases, scuffs, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of most of the folds. It had pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed with no excess linen, but after it was backed, the poster was displayed, and the reds in the poster faded and you can really tell the extent of it, because there is restoration paint along parts of the folds where that paint did not change, but the color near it did. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept this significant defect. Learn More about condition grades
