Mexican Lobby Card:
The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues
The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues (1955).
Azteca/Mexican Lobby Cards
Mexican Lobby Card:
Special Mission Lady Chaplin
I suppose I should explain this one for Special Mission Lady Chaplin (1966), but really, do I need to? It's colorful, suggestive (okay, very suggestive), and sells the promise of brute-force action and quick romance quite well, along with its promising long-barreled guns and large, lively submarines. It showcases more cold war intrigue, which comes after Daniela Bianchi's 1963 appearance in From Russia With Love.
Mexican Lobby Card: Topper Returns
The Mexican lobby card for Topper Returns (1941). Simple, direct, and conveys the ghostly, but humorous, storyline well enough. The four movie scenes are printed on a separate card that's pasted onto the lobby. You see this done more often in the 1940s and earlier lobbies, but of course it was done for the smaller Azteca lobbies (although Aztecas were printed in the United States) much later, too.
Mexican Lobby Card: X-15
An early film, X-15 (1961) from the director of Superman and The Omen, Richard Donner.
Mexican Lobby Card: Untouched
This sultry Mexican lobby card for Sombra Verde (Untouched, 1954) is simply exquisite. With both femme fatale and snake colored green, I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to which has more bite.
Mexican Lobby Card:
Taste the Blood of Dracula
Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970). Another cut and paste effort, which was a layout favorite (cheap, quick, no artist needed) for many Mexican lobby cards done in the 1970s.
Mexican Lobby Card: Masterson of Kansas
Here's the Mexican lobby card for one of director William Castle's non-horror movies, Masterson of Kansas (1954).
Mexican Lobby Card:
Black Belly of the Tarantula
Black Belly of the Tarantula (1971) Mexican lobby card; a cut and paste effort that sums the movie's premise well enough.
Mexican Lobby Card: Phantom Caravan
Phantom Caravan, 1954. Private detective mixes it up with murderous Indian sect–in Switzerland.
