An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Queen of Outer Space, the 1958 Edward Bernds science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy space adventure thriller ("26 Million Miles Through The Unknown Universe -- To The Indescribable Terrors and Beauties of Planet Venus!"; "Mankind's First Fantastic Flight to Venus -- the Female Planet!"; "From a story by Ben Hecht"; "Screenplay by Charles Beaumont") starring Zsa Zsa Gabor (often mistaken for playing the title role!), Eric Fleming, Dave Willock, Laurie Mitchell (in the title role as Queen Yllana), Lisa Davis, and Paul Birch. Note that Ben Hecht, who is given credit for the story, and Charles Beaumont, credited with the screenplay, were two of the most talented writers ever to work in Hollywood. So how did they end up working on this low budget cheesy grade Z movie? Legend has it that Hecht told the story at a party, and someone who overheard it started making a movie of it, and Hecht heard about it and demanded screen credit! As to Charles Beaumont, it surely was the low point of his otherwise illustrious career! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had a 2" x 4" area of paper loss in the bottom right corner, affecting the right end of the black border and the end of the NSS number. There were light water stains in the bottom border. The left 1" and the right 2" were folded back at one time and there were pinholes and stains around the edges. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds, with tears and tiny paper loss in the top quarter of the vertical fold, and a lesser amount of wear on the other folds. There was a 1" tear between the "V" and "E" of "VENUS" at top left, and two tears and small paper loss in the lower left inset image. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, except that the restorer drew in the missing area in the bottom right corner (see our image).
