Note that the posters and lobby cards for this movie say "Printed in Mexico" at the bottom right, but they are entirely in English. We wonder if perhaps the movie was so virulently anti-Japanese and generally sleazy that perhaps no U.S. distributors wanted to handle it, and perhaps it was distributed out of Mexico! Also note that the many movies like "I Was a Teenage Frankenstein" and "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" were all the rage at the end of the 1950s, and in the height of poor taste, some distributor chose to re-release this exploitation movie with the new title "Curse of a Teenage Nazi"! If anyone knows more about this movie or these posters, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this Mexican lobby card measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
