Mexican Lobby Card: Day the World Ended

Roger Corman's fourth movie, The Day the World Ended. Note the card shows "Jorge Corman" as director, and there's a misspelling in "trmendo;" should be "tremendo." I also don't recall a woman running around in a skimpy outfit, especially with all the radioactivity outside. Pay particular attention to the positioning of the two men: one is fighting the monster, the other is holding a gun but facing away from the monster. In the middle is the woman. In this primitive and colorful illustration the artist has told us there's a villain, there's a monster, and there's a hero. Oh, and a beautiful woman caught in the middle. Sadly, this card holds more drama than the movie itself, and it also shows the plot quite well.
