Description

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (Allied Artists, 1958). Fine- on Linen. One Sheet (26.75" X 41") Reynold Brown Artwork.
Few images in 1950s sci-fi are as instantly recognizable as Reynold Brown's iconic illustration for Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, depicting a towering, enraged Allison Hayes straddling a freeway over terrified motorists, a tableau that is as alluring and menacing as it is delightfully camp. Originally crafted on a shoestring budget with a plot steeped in pseudo-science, this mid-century B-movie has transcended its humble beginnings to become a cornerstone of cult and pop culture alike. The film's blend of outrageous spectacle and underlying human drama, centered on Hayes's unforgettable turn as Nancy Archer, a woman transformed by a mysterious extraterrestrial encounter, continues to captivate audiences decades later. A true collector's treasure, this magnificent one sheet from the original theatrical campaign showcases Brown's legendary artwork and represents the very best of pulp sci-fi poster art. Touchup throughout has addressed fold wear, pinholes/pinhole tears, creases, fold separation, some tears, a few stains, and a chip within the image of Hayes's leg. Some flaws, including a few light post-restoration stains, remain visible.
