Classic Vintage Movie Poster Attack Of The 50 FT Woman
Another great retro poster from the Sci-Fi film genre.
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman is a 1958 science fiction feature film produced by Bernard Woolner for Allied Artists Pictures. It was directed by Nathan H. Juran (credited as Nathan Hertz) from a screenplay by Mark Hanna, and starred Allison Hayes, William Hudson and Yvette Vickers. The original music score was composed by Ronald Stein. The film was a take on other movies that had also featured size-changing humans, namely The Amazing Colossal Man and The Incredible Shrinking Man, but substituting a woman as the protagonist.
The story concerns the plight of Nancy Archer, a wealthy heiress whose close encounter with an enormous alien being causes her to grow into a giantess. She uses her new size and power to seek revenge against her philandering husband Harry and his mistress, Honey Parker. (Strangely I went to school with a gril called Nancy Archer, who was one of the smallest in the class, wonder if her parents liked this film?)
The poster for the 1958 original has come under much criticism because the picture of the giant woman in it is not 50 feet tall in proportion. Compared to the size of the cars and people in the poster she appears to be at least 200 feet tall.
To be honest when a poster is this good, do you really care.
