Vintage original 11x14 in. US lobby card from the 1960's thriller crime drama, HOUSE OF 1,000 DOLLS, released in 1967 by American International Pictures (AIP) and co-directed by Jeremy Summers and Hans Billlian (billed as "Manfred Kohler"). When a vacationing couple in Tangiers run into an old friend there, they discover that he is searching for his missing girlfriend who has been kidnapped by an international gang of white slavers. Nader investigates but before he can come up with anything, his friend is murdered. Meanwhile, nightclub magician Price and his mentalist partner continue their nefarious activities--they hypnotize and kidnap young women for the white slavers, and spirit them to the "House of 1000 Dolls." The cast includes Vincent Price, Martha Hyer, George Nader, Ann Smyrner, Wolfgang Kleiling, Sancho Gracia, and "The Dolls."
As indicated in the center of the bottom border, this is scene card number 5 from the set of 8 lobby cards. The image features a great atmospheric shot of Felix Manderville (Vincent Price) and Rebecca (Martha Hyer) in a position of authority and power as they gaze downwards upon us. It is unrestored in fine+ condition with a crease of varying sizes on each corner and a 3 in. and 2 in. horizontal crease in the red background area above the number "5" in the bottom border.
Filming was postponed on several occasions, which led to casting changes. At one stage, Vic Damone was set to co-star and Terence Fisher to direct. |
