Rare 50’s Double Bill Programmes

Just come across these which I found particularly interesting

I Was A Teenage Werewolf / Dragstrip Girl: 

One of those teenage classics; both made by American International Pictures in 1957

I Was A Teenage Werewolf starred a young Michael Landon and was the first film ever to have the word ‘teenage’ in its title,

Dragstrip Girl was co-produced by the legendary Samuel Z. Arkoff

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 Anglo Amalgamated with the Hammer House Wardour Street address printed at the bottom of the poster.

Viking Women / Back To Nature / The Mysterious Invader: Late 1950s, possibly early 1960s, film poster for a triple bill of 1957 Anglo International Pictures features. Viking Women, also known as The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent, produced by Roger Corman and the legendary Samuel Z. Arkoff.

The Astounding She Monster, here billed as The Mysterious Invader, directed& produced by Ronald V. Ashcroft, who employed the B-movie king Edward D. Wood, Jr. as an unofficial consultant after having worked on his Night of the Ghouls.

his ‘Colossal Triple Attraction’, distributed by Anglo Amalgamated with the Hammer House Wardour Street address printed at the bottom of the poster.

The third part of the bill is a nudist film, Back To Nature, filmed in colour and set in the Elsinore nudist colony California, I seem to recall that Michael Winner started his career with a couple of such films made in England around the same time. One called ‘Some Like it Cool ‘ springs to minda film written, financed and made by Michael Winner – and one that made quite a lot of money and kick-started his career
