VARIOUS-FILM, RADIO, THEATRE & TV I Was A Teenage Werewolf / Dragstrip Girl (Super rare late 1950s UK 30" x 40" quad film poster for the double bill of seminal teenage classics; both made by American International Pictures in 1957 for the burgeoning market of a new age group known as 'teenagers'. I Was A Teenage Werewolf starred a young Michael Landon as the titular wolf and was the first movie ever to have the word 'teenage' in its title, which soon became something of a cliche, thanks to exploitation filmmakers attempting to cash in on the hip, young market. Dragstrip Girl was co-produced by the legendary Samuel Z. Arkoff and was vilified in the press for its nihilistic and disobedient portrail of the youth of America. This poster is most likely a late 1950s, possibly early 1960s re-screening of the films, billed as 'The double thrill sensation of the century!', distributed by AngloAmalgamated with the Hammer House Wardour Street address printed at the bottom of the poster. The poster uses the familiar images used in the American poster art, however utilizes a different colour palette consisting of green, red & yellow and the the image of the couple on Dragstrip Girl is angled to a more upright position, possibly to render it less suggestive. The poster has three sharp folds vertically and three shallow folds horizontally and no holes where the folds intersect. There is a 2cm tear & small area of discolouration to right which only extends into the border, leaving the image unaffected. The edges of the poster are still sharp and the corners are present with no paper loss. The poster has been stored well, meaning acid yellowing it kept to a minimum and the colours still retain a vivid clarity which leaves them as eye-catching as the day they were adorning the doorway of the local Gaumont! A fantastic historical artifact to celebrate the birth of the teenager and perfect for framing).
