The Blob

[ translate ]

Paramount Pictures, 1958. U.S. lithographic banner, paper-backed, rolled. This poster heralds the coming of The Blob in striking colors of green and burnt orange, boasting a "four-alarm fear blast in fright-red PANIColor!" Star Steve McQueen is billed as "Steven McQueen," as he had not yet risen to superstar status. Though 28 years old, McQueen plays a teenager in the film, along with Aneta Corsaut, who would go on to play Helen Crump, Andy's girlfriend on The Andy Griffith Show. McQueen, later humiliated by his association with The Blob and angry at not choosing to take 10% of the profits over a salary, ultimately detached himself completely from the film. Ironically, as a starving young actor, he had begged director Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr. for the role!
24 x 82 in.
