PREHISTORIC WOMEN (1950) Pressbook

Vintage original 16 x 16″ (40 x 40 cm.) pressbook; folio, pictorial wrappers, 8 pp., USA. Laurette Luez, Allan Nixon, Joan Shawlee, Judy Landon, Mara Lynn, dir: Gregg C. Tallas; Eagle-Lion Films. A sort of female Tarzan escapade with a bit of a plot and championing women’s lib — at least up to a point. The women hate men, but realize that they are a necessary evil, and in the end they are even submissive to them. Most of this was filmed right in the heart of Hollywood with some locations at the Corriganville Ranch and atmospheric shots from Florida. The jungle animals were stuffed. Great fun, though, and this book covers not only images of the beauties in the cast, but presents some amazing ideas and materials on how to promote the film. Book was sent out folded and that fold appears 5 ” (14 cm.) in from the right side. There is one stressed area at the very right side edge on the cover. NEAR FINE.
