(Maybe not so) Astounding!

The Astounding She-Monster (1958) provides a good example of ads vs. reality. Below are 1) a sexy full-color ad for the movie (about a space woman wondering through the woods, scaring people with her blurry figure); 2) an example of the kind of ad that ran in newspapers--it was released as the second feature to Viking Women and the Sea Serpent; 3) what the She-Monster (Shirley Kilpatrick) really looked in the movie.
