Original The Filmgroup Three Sheet Poster (41x81). Folded. Fine condition.

Original Filmgroup Three Sheet Poster (41x81) for the Roger Corman sword and sandal adventure, ATLAS (1961) starring Michael Forest, Barboura Morris, and Frank Wolff. B-movie king Corman dabbled in most commercial genres, and this was his attempt at historical epic. He was capitalizing on a mid-1960s craze for films set in the classical period. In this film, evil king Praximedes (Wolff) convinces superhero Atlas (Forest) to fight for him, but Atlas eventually sees the king's true nature and turns against him. Most critics have focused on the lack of action and excitement plus a lame and lifeless script. Maybe Corman and friends just needed a vacation in Greece for six weeks. Anyway, it makes a cute three sheet. This original three sheet poster is folded and in fine condition with some pinholes and minor distresses.
