Auction History Result 3t0976 QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE 1sh 1958 Zsa Zsa Gabor on Venus, by Ben Hecht & Charles Beaumont! Date Sold 2/14/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded 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. Condition: good. The poster is very lightly rippled throughout (see our image). It has separation at the top of the vertical foldline and some tiny separation at the top crossfold and those areas are backed with clear tape (and there is some clear tape at lower left). The left edge was folded back at one time and there are creases along that edge and the lower edge was folded back at one time by approximately 4". There are a few tiny pinholes around the edges. The poster is colorful and it is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. Most or all of the very light rippling can be removed during linenbacking, and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
