An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Paper Banner (measures 24" x 82" [61 x 208 cm]) (Learn More) Viking Women and the Sea Serpent (officially released as "The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent" and released in England as "Viking Women"), the 1958 Roger Corman science fiction (sci-fi) thriller ("Fabulous! Spectacular! Terrifying! The raw courage of women without men lost in a fantastic Hell-On-Earth!"; "Story by Irving Block"; a really wacky story of viking women whose men have been captured, and they set off to rescue the men, but they themselves are captured, and they also have an encounter with a giant sea serpent) starring Abby Dalton, Susan Cabot, Brad Jackson, June Kenney, Richard Devon, Gary Conway, and Jonathan Haze NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Reynold Brown Important Added Info: Note that the color inset image on this paper banner (see our image) was printed on a separate sheet and then attached to that area of the banner (this was commonly done with paper banners, and some 30x40s and 40x60s of this period). This is how the poster was created. Note also that this poster is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other items that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Note that in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters). Note that this item is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other items that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Condition: good to very good. The poster has some slight discoloration at upper center due to exposure to moisture. It has a few scuff marks scattered in various areas (typical of vintage paper banners) and it is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
