Auction History Result 7j0001 ATTACK OF THE 50 FT WOMAN 1sh 1958 classic Reynold Brown art, great unrestored condition! Date Sold 10/22/2024 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) Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman, the 1958 Nathan Juran (billed as "Nathan Hertz") science fiction (sci-fi) giant female monster horror thriller starring Allison Hayes (in the title role as the 50 foot woman), William Hudson, Yvette Vickers, Roy Gordon, George Douglas, and Otto Waldis. Note that the posters for this movie have wonderful Reynold Brown artwork of a giant scantily clad woman standing over a highway, and it is rightly regarded as one of the finest poster images of the 1950s. One wishes one could say the same about the movie itself, but alas, that is not true! But the poster for this movie is surely one of the most memorable ever created! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Reynold Brown Important Added Info: Note that this is a completely unrestored one-sheet, and it was once displayed, but surely only briefly (see below). This is especially surprising, because this is one of the most popular 1950s horror/sci-fi images ever, and surely many existing examples were displayed on fans' walls from 1958 through the 1970s, when the value of the poster was not that high. Many of those were likely ripped off the walls and discarded when the owners moved, and the ones that weren't surely had varying degrees of fading, tears, tape stains, etc. Surely the ones of those that did survive were mostly all linenbacked to repair the above defects. So the question is, how many examples of this poster still survive at all, and how many of them are linenbacked, and how many of them have no professional restoration of any kind, and how many of those are in anywhere near as nice condition as this poster is? I would bet the answer is next to none, making THIS example of this great poster all the more wonderful and desirable to collectors everywhere! 11 years ago, we auctioned an example of this poster that was completely unrestored and in even nicer condition than this example, and that one sold for $19,000 11 years ago! THIS example is the second best unrestored example we have auctioned, and clearly, there are very few unrestored examples left, so this one also deserves to sell for a considerable premium. The last unrestored example of this poster we auctioned was in 2023, and that example was in "very good" condition, and had some stains and other defects, and it sold for $11,500. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has some faint creases around the edges and a few tiny creases on small parts of the folds. It has no separation at the crossfolds and only very slight fold wear. The poster was attached to a wall with a single tiny pin in the outer edge of each top corner and a tiny pair of staples in the outer edges of the bottom corners. Someone once also attached the poster to a wall with two tiny pieces of tape on the back of the top corners only, and that tiny tape is long gone, but there is a tiny tape stain on the back of each corner that does not show through to the front. The colors are very bright and fresh, indicating it was likely displayed only once (or certainly very few times, and not exposed to the sun at all). It will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
