This is an original Universal International Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Jack Arnold sci-fi horror classic, CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954), starring Richard Carlson, Julie Adams, and Ben Chapman as the humanoid amphibious fish creature dubbed “Gill-Man.” This popular film with its eerie music and underwater photography captured the interest of sci-fi audiences and in the process practically saved Universal from bankruptcy in the 1950′s. With skillful direction by Jack Arnold and wonderful music – some of it by Henry Mancini – this film turned into an immediate cult classic still being enjoyed even today. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine plus condition. One of the great science fiction film posters in super condition. Very desired.

Original Universal International Pictures Window Card (14×22) for the Jack Arnold sci-fi horror classic, CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954) starring Richard Carlson, Julie Adams, and Ben Chapman as the humanoid amphibious fish creature dubbed “Gill-Man.” This excellent and very popular film practically saved Universal from bankruptcy in the 1950′s. With skillful direction by Jack Arnold and eerie aquatic music by (surprise!) Henry Mancini, this film turned into an immediate cult classic and is revered as one of the seminal films of 1950s science fiction.. This original window card is signed by Julia Adams (Adams appeared in CREATURE as Julia Adams) and Ben Chapman. The card has been paperbacked and is graded as fine to fine plus condition. The borders have been painted, but the image area is for the most part free of paint. There is a small area of paint inside the letters OO in the word “Lagoon.” The card was most probably signed at the same time by the two cast members with the same pen.
