Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
Written by Jeremy Hilburn   

This poster is for an incredibly cheezy yet famous 50's science fiction movie, "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman." My Dad made me watch this as a kid and we got a big kick out of it.  Later movies spoofed this film as a one of the more terrible examples of early film production and special effects. Science fiction movies earned a particularly bad reputation after a boom of interest in the 1950s.  Some of the tag lines for the movie include, "A titanic beauty spreads a macabre wave of horror! A terrifying masterpiece of shock and chills!" And, "See a female colossus... her mountainous torso, skyscraper limbs, giant desires!" One could also infer a great deal about what the movie says about 1950s gender issues.
