Auction History Result 5a0519 ATTACK OF THE 50 FT WOMAN linen Argentinean 1958 art of big Allison Hayes over highway, rare! Date Sold 9/3/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 29" x 44" [74 x 112 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the art on this poster is very similar to the Reynold Brown art used on the U.S. one-sheet, and while it may in fact be by Reynold Brown, it is also certainly possible that another artist copied his work. If anyone knows for sure either way, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny bits of paper loss on small parts of the folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. After the poster was backed, it was framed, and it had tape over the excess linen of the bottom of the left border. That tape was removed, causing damage to the excess linen, but not at all to the poster. More strangely, something caused a triangular area of paper loss in the upper right border, both in the poster's border and in the linen, but only blank white border was affected. So this poster has these two odd defects, but both can be easily corrected by any restorer (or even left as is, because they can be matted out), and the image area is in nice condition. But bear the above in mind before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
