Attack of the 50 Foot Woman 1958 US 1 Sheet Film Poster, Reynold Brown

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman is pure 1950s sci-fi gold: big hair, bigger melodrama and one of the most unforgettable poster images of the atomic age. Released in 1958 and directed by Nathan Juran, the film stars Allison Hayes as Nancy Archer, a wealthy woman whose encounter with an alien leads to spectacular, city-smashing consequences. It is B-movie cinema at its most fabulous: camp, stylish, strange and completely iconic.

This original US 1 Sheet features Reynold Brown’s legendary artwork, one of the great exploitation poster designs of the decade. The towering figure, blazing yellow ground, roaring red title lettering and tiny panicked city below all work together with brilliant pulpy drama. It is bold, sexy, funny and instantly recognisable — exactly the kind of image that made 1950s American sci-fi advertising so irresistible.

This original movie poster was originally folded (as issued) but has been professionally linen-backed. It is sized approx. 27 x 41 inches (plus a little more with the linen-backing) and will be sent rolled (unframed).
