the 1948 double-bill release ("A Tremendous Double-Bill Attraction!"; "Never before! ...TWO such mighty spectacles on ONE sensational show!"; "1,001 scenes that stagger the imagination! Mammoth cast of 10,000 players!") of The Last Days of Pompeii, the 1935 Ernest B.

Rider Haggard; "Young and beautiful for 500 years...and wicked every one of them!") starring Helen Gahagan, Randolph Scott, Helen Mack, Nigel Bruce and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan "and a cast of thousands!". Note that this is the only movie Helen Gahagan made. Afterwards, she became Helen Gahagan Douglas, and later became a two-term member of the House of Representatives. She ran for Senator against Richard Nixon, but lost, but she did get even with him by frequently using his nickname, "Tricky Dick"!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970!
