“SHE who must be obeyed! …SHE who must be loved! …SHE who must be possessed!”… One of Hammer’s better and most lavish productions produced during one of the Studio’s most successful periods. This rare and original US lobby card #5 from 1965 is in very good solid condition. Great image as SHE (Ursula Andress) dares Leo (John Richardson) to stab her in order to save the life of another woman. Any paper from this film is particularly scarce…A very rare lobby card presented in very good condition makes this a highly desirable item of Hammer movie memorabilia.

Film Description

“She has been here forever. She is like the mountains, like the desert. Changeless, ageless, deathless. “…In Palestine in 1918 three ex-soldiers come into possession of a map to the legendary lost Egyptian city of Kuma. After a perilous desert journey they reach their goal and find a strange secret society, presided over by the immortal She Who Must Be Obeyed …Based on the classic novel by H. Rider Haggard, this is one of my favourite Hammer movies. It’s got gorgeous women, fights, camels, tribal dancing, human sacrifices, lost cities, scheming high priests, the secret of immortality and the usual apocalyptic last reel. Magic stuff. Andress looks stunning (“Blimey. They don’t make ’em like that anymore.”), Lee is terrific and Cribbins a tremendous foil, with his valet’s disposition and bowler hat. As so often with Hammer’s movies though, it is Cushing who holds the film together – his quiet intelligence and subtlety despite the weird situations are the work of a truly great actor and he raises the tone high above what could easily turn into silly shenanigans. There’s also a great sweeping string score by James Bernard, remarkable costumes by Carl Toms and eye-pleasing cardboard-rock sets by Robert Jones. There are a lot of adaptations of this great story; several silent movies, an agreeable thirties Hollywood version with Helen Gahagan, and a direct sequel to this picture (The Vengeance Of She), but this is the best one – a great adventure/romance/horror flick for boys of all ages. .

Most Popular Poster Types

US Posters

LOBBY CARD
11 x 14" printed on heavy stock paper. Used as display in theatre lobbies. Originally made in sets of eight. Some sets have a title card, which contains credits and artwork, essentially a mini-poster. The remaining seven cards are coloured photographic credits and poster artwork showing different scenes from the movie.

WINDOW CARD
14 x 22" printed on heavy stock paper with the top 4-6 inches usually left blank for the local cinema owner to fill in the cinema and the date it was due to play. Largely discontinued during the 1970's.

HALF SHEET
22 x 28" printed on heavy stock paper. The image displayed is normally a smaller version of the main poster, although some do have different artworks and sometimes come in two versions.

INSERT
14 x 36" printed on heavy stock paper. Inserts usually have the same artwork as a one sheet. Popular with collectors since they are smaller and easier to frame. Normally come tri folded or rolled.

STYLE Y/FORTY BY SIXTY
40 x 60" printed on heavy stock paper. Rare since they were primarily used for major motion pictures only. Designed to be used outside the theatre, on an easel, normally at a drive-in movie theatre.

ONE-SHEET
27 x 41" printed on paper. This is the most common size of poster, intended to be displayed in a glass "marquee" case. It is the most sought after size by collectors. Since the 1980's most posters are sent to the theatre rolled and maybe slightly smaller measuring 27" by 40" and with the advent of backlit light boxes a growing number of modern movie posters are available double-sided and the more traditional single-sided.

THREE-SHEET
41 x 81" printed on paper. These were printed on two or three separate sheets designed to overlap, few survive. Used for larger advertising spaces, normally posted on walls, perfect for huge movie theatres the drive-in, where people could see them from a distance. From the 1970's on, three-sheets were sometimes printed in one piece and issued as "international" versions to be used abroad.

BRITISH Posters

BRITISH QUAD
30 x 40" Most common poster size used in the UK. British Quads are horizontal and may have different artwork to the US one sheet. Like a US one sheet they normally come in two versions. Like a US one sheet they are usually supplied single-sided or more commonly now as a double sided poster.

BRITISH ONE-SHEET
27 X 40", printed on paper. Very rarely used size.
