Bwana Devil - Lobby Card
Here is a Lobby Card from the 3-D film Bwana Devil (1953), starring Robert Stack. Lobby Cards were 11" x 14" posters that came in sets of 8. As the name implies, they were most often displayed in movie theater lobbies, to advertise current or coming attractions.

Holiday For Sinners), 1947.

Holiday For Sinners), 1947.
Twonky, The (1953) -- (Movie Clip) This May Happen To You Opening sequences as writer-director-producer Arch Oboler sets the weird tone for his Sci-Fi spoof, Hans Conreid the dizzy professor and Janet Warren his wife, from The Twonky, 1953.
