An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 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. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare 40x60 poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! It may well be the most rare size on this title! Also note that the person who owned this poster stored it rolled with the image rolled outward, so we are leaving it that way, and will send it to the winning bidder that way. Condition: good. The poster has paper tape on the back of parts of the left and right borders, and small parts of the top and bottom borders, where there were many creases and small tears. There is a 4" tear in the top center that has a piece of clear tape on the front, and a piece of paper tape on the back. There are lots of creases and scuffs scattered throughout the poster. All of this is often found in 40x60s of this time period, and certainly restoration could be performed. While one would prefer to find a better condition example, one might wait a lifetime to find that better condition example! Learn More about condition grades
