Mexican Lobby Card:
Monstruos De Piedra (1957)

A better than average B movie, Monstruos De Piedra (The Monolith Monsters) has a simple plot device: meteoric crystals that keep growing on contact with water provide a straightforward adventure with fairly well-integrated stock footage and bargain special effects (miniatures) that work well for the budget given. By this time Universal was looking to keep things as cheap as possible, but its later movies would suffer far worse at the hands of cost-cutting number crunchers. This movie would make a terrific remake. Just add suped up action, and killer special effects, and it would be a natural for a summer blockbuster.

If you've snooped around my blog long enough, you would have noticed I have a thing for jungle movies and giant apes (and big gorillas). Can't explain it. Just accept it. This Mexican lobby card for Nabonga! is awesome to behold. Click it to make Nabonga even bigger! I dare you. (Note: Seasoned jungle movie lovers will notice Buster Crabbe's name is mispelled as Grabbe.)

An interesting Mexican lobby card collage layout you often see with superhero subject matter. Comic book illustrations–the usual movie scene is replaced by a hastily cut out comic book panel–and jungle illustrations are colorful but irrelevant to what's being shown in the theater. In this case it's probably a showing of television episodes of George Reeves' Adventures of Superman.
