Important Added Info: Note that this is a great professionally made local theater display for this double-bill, but the majority of the poster relates to Rodan, and all of the wonderful image! The date on the poster correlates to 1958, the year after Rodan was released in the U.S. This is a die-cut poster on a heavy backing (it looks like it could have been a standee, but there is nothing on the reverse of it, and no signs that there ever were). It is similar in dimensions to a window card, but it is die-cut, and on a much heavier stock. The poster seems far too professional to be created locally, and we wonder who made it and if it was used by other theaters as well (we have never seen or heard of it before). If anyone knows more about this display, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has some minor border defects, but is overall in nice condition!
