An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Benton Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 13 3/4" x 22" [35 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Untamed Mistress, the 1955 Ron Ormond jungle adventure thriller ("Bold Primitive Shocking Adventure"; "Untamed, unashamed, savage animal worship, strange emotions"; "Writhing and sinuous, her body shone in the moonlight as she called to her animal lover!"; "Which will be her mate... Man or Beast?"; "Powerful! Daring!"; See Gorilla fight man for a luscious woman whose only weapon is love!"; "See A dance of passion and death as she calls to her animal lover!"; "See A ferocious lion eating its prey alive!"; Untamed... Unashamed"!; "See the fierce Budkas - one of Africa's less known tribes sacrifice young virgins to the gorilla pack!"; "Photographed in Africa by Dr. A. Trevenning, M.D. and Allan Stensvold, A.S.C.") starring Allan Nixon, Jacqueline Fontaine, Byron Keith, Johnny Martin, and Cliff Taylor. I wonder if the posters for this movie exaggerate what you see on the screen just a LITTLE, and I wonder who the girl ended up choosing for "her mate", the man or the beast? According to the IMDB this low budget movie premiered in El Paso Texas in 1955 and then was released more widely (probably in roadshow releases) the following year.

Important Added Info: Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Also note that this card is made by the Benton Card Company which is a different company than the one that printed most of the window cards at that time. The Benton Card Company made mostly two-color window cards that used blown up newspaper ads. They sold their window cards cheaper than the regular ones, so many theaters used them. In the 1970s, someone bought the company and made reprints of earlier titles, but those are clearly marked. The window card offered here is from the original release of this movie!
